europe and standing tall


I started this painting yesterday.

It's for the sister of a friend who travelled across Europe
on her bicycle.

The grey-ish blue-ish purple path you see on the left
will eventually look like a bike path,
and she'll be on it with her bike. :-)


And the middle part will eventually look like water.


It's nowhere near done
but i'll post more pics when i have it finished.



... and this was last nights' fun.
mixed media collage.


I'm just noticing how crappy the hair looks right now  :-(
I may add a bit to it before the end of the day.

I saw a poster the other day that made me smile.

Carpe the hell out of this diem.

Don't you love it?
So yeah, that's what i wish for all of you today. 

To seize the hell outa this day,
wherever you may be on this big blue ball in the sky.
xoxo
