I love texture. The thicker the better. 8”x8” Acrylic on Canvas. Is abstract still a thing?

So last year after I announced that my business would be closing after 24 years we entered the busiest holidays we had ever had -(going out of business sales are great for business 🤷🏻‍♂️)- I would come home all stressed out and pour my anxiety out on paper. “Anxiety” a series of pen n ink.

On this day many years ago we lost the greatest American composer of the 20th century. The sheer amount of music this man put out in his career is un matched. He also ripped on guitar. Miss you man.

It’s not all paint and canvas. Sometimes you need a break from the madness in America and Mexico was the perfect call. Big sailfish on stand up gear. It lived to fight another day.

So today is my birthday. 63 orbits around the sun. I thought this morning I would just loaf around. Alas that isn’t me. Then I thought- “can I paint a painting to completion in one day?” Yer damn right I can!

Doomscrolling through the end of America is annoying. While my heart hurts, I will expel my energy towards my vision….
