Art's little place.

Update.

2010-08-29T17:20:00.000-07:00

I haven't quite hit the 'inspiration' button as far as crafts for about two months. I've done some picture work for my sister's cards and paints, some portraiture photographic work but that's about it. Recently, I moved back to Mexico, and even though I lived there for a long time in my life, it had been almost 8 years since I left. 'Cultural shock' is what's happening to me. I'm a week away from my b-day and I set up the goal to accomplish finishing a task before the end of the week, not with pressure, but a challenge. These images are part of a set that I was able to capture these past weeks. We shall see. Love!

Work on process

2010-04-10T00:16:00.000-07:00

Here's another something I'm working on, as you see, I'm barely getting started, but I loved the layout so I decided to record it and share it. God only know how it will end. I'll post the final outcome.

A little something.

2010-03-28T00:21:00.000-07:00

This paint was originally going to be a landscape only, but I felt something was missing and decided to add a little depth and a fairy. I'm very please with the outcome. So, here, feel free to comment. Oh, and yes, I've been using the techniques and expertise that my sister has shared on her online art school:http://handsandheart.ning.com

Thanks to many of you, it's been quite a year. We've been blessed with the opportunity to do what we love the most. And we even got paid for it! There is so much to be grateful. The challenge, the knowledge and the experience, but most of all, for letting us be part of what's important to you: your loved ones.

Thank you, and we will see you in 2010!

Here are some projects that I I've been able to finish up lately.

Photography blog and website.

2009-05-22T20:00:00.000-07:00

Well, I don't know if I really have any good followers... :) But here's to any of you who had the time to take a look to the project I've dedicated myself into; My photography website and blog.

Check it out, I'll love to hear some feedback, if any, if not, your missing out!

It's basically the launching of my business in SoCal, although I have worked for other photographers, it is basically the beginning of my path flying solo, and I'm tremendously happy and excited for, after only one month, and as a result of dedication and passion, so far I've booked several events for this and next year already! Really, really excited! I've also spend time learning new software and computer photo-processing stuff, polishing and growing business skills, learning how market and advertise, which can be and endless and terrifying walk, and most importantly, affirming and re-affirming that this is another venue of amazing source of creativity, challenge and self-discovery.

I've done some greeting cards and paints that will try to upload over the weekend, and I'm also very excited for Monica's upcoming workshops.

Valentines

2009-01-30T15:52:00.000-08:00

Oh well, Valentines is here again, and this time, I'm in love and living an amazing time in my life; I found the time to do Valentines cards, take pictures of them, and upload them, which may seem very easy, but many of you know how hard can this be when you also have a life, and chores, and a job, and a family... Gosh, but it is all part of our wonderful life, and those are the little things that make it so beautiful. So here are some of my creations, there were a couple of days where I just couldn't find inspiration. Read books and magazines, went to an art show, even I went out dancing, but nothing... until yesterday, it all fell into place and here they are.

Well, I still haven't figured out, just yet, how to get the best out of this blog. I've tried to read tips and stuff online, but I am just so used to myspace, that everything I learn I just go there and do it... but well, if you happen to read this, and might wanna help me, any links to info on how to manipulate the layout, and publish more stuff than the regular blogger allows you to, please feel free!!! Thanks!
