Yes. It does say OIL... Man. Never thought this day would come. The title translates: The darkness comes slowly. Gives you an idea of my mood at the time. But hey. Never claimed to be butterflies and buttercups... okay, maybe one or two butterflies after an oil painting is finally completed ;)

mi vida cambia- November 2011

acrylic on canvas, 32 in x 72 in

Translated: My Life Changes. This piece was a pleasure to construct with the layering of colours one after the other. I felt the title appropriate as a means of allowing a glimpse of whatever it is that goes on in my noggin. Growing older and increasingly more reflective, I realize that I am not who I once was nor am I who I think I am. I am only what others see, feel or think. If they see nothing, think nothing, feel nothing... than I am nothing. If others feel, see, or think joy, than I am joy.. And so it goes... As my company changes, so do I. Always in flux. Always changing.
