What is that silent noise????

The silence on my blog must have been deafening, but I just couldn't find the time nor the peace inside me to blog. I was painting!!

The summer was filled with wonderful projects: mural, drawings, paintings and live painting.

First I was invited to participate in the beautification of Carol City School in Miami Garden aka "Art in the Gardens". This school has fought to make it a safe place for their students in a challenging environment. Part of this project was to bring uplifting art to the students via their walls. 

"Little Winner"

This was my contribution to the project: a reminder that they all have talents, some more obvious than others, but nevertheless. I painted it in the colors of the school.. so my usual red was replaced with a bright orange. And I like it.

I also got the wonderful news that one of my pieces was selected for the Seventh All-Media Juried Biennial at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood (FL). A huge honor as only some 80+ are selected from over a 1000 entries. 

"Dona Isabel and her Control" in good company at the Biennial.



In the mean time I was also working on 2 commissions:
A little Frida and a piece based on the "Girl interrupted at her music" by Vermeer.


"Little Frida" (2015)
9" x 12"
Acrylics on boxed wood

"Planning a Gourmet" (2015)
30" x 30"
Acrylics on canvas


And this was not  all... but I know that breaking the silence with too much noise is never a good idea... so I will keep the other projects for the next blog... See you soon.

Working on the LoF Mural

I am working at a mural in the stairway at the LoF Center.

The Life of Freedom (LoF) Center offers support and restorative programs for female survivors of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

Tonight is the "Ribbon Cutting" opening of the Center and I finished the first wall 4' x 8' (and the center of the whole mural once completed) in 2 days last weekend.

Saturday June 23 - after priming the wall - I started at noon by sketching the face and started to paint...



...and just kept going... no stencils, no projector nor tape... hand painting the whole face.



Until I was finished at the end of Sunday June 24....




Ready for tonights' opening reception...


... and then to continue with the rest of the mural.......
