This was a fun painting to do. It started off as a pour painting and then I used how the paint came out to make a scene. The girl is dreaming of her dream guy that shares the painting with her.
Back in 2015, I wrote a monologue called “Artist” I then performed and recorded it. That video is posted on YouTube, but you can find it below also. Along with the orginial monologue.
Artist
I want to boldly tell you; I am an artist. I’m sure you already knew that or at least suspected. I mean how can anyone really hide their creativity? I know I’ve tried to hide or ignore my creative side, wanting to be normal. I yearned for a quiet mind that could simply observe the world and did not have a need to share its beauty.
Yes, there was a time I wanted to be normal, but not any more. An ordinary life in no life for me and if it seems like my life is just like yours ask me what I’m thinking about. For you see I have worlds and universes living in my head. My mind is filled with lands of poetry, worlds of paintings, and many stories in many different universes. They are all just waiting to be created.
When I am at my day job tapping the keys of my computer part of my mind may be trapping dragons to get to the keys of a prison to rescue some royalty. While I’m driving home I am most likely also involved in an elaborate love affair that will tragically end when I park my car. If I am watching the sunset I am also memorizing the colors in hopes that I could paint it one day.
You see my mind is not a quiet place most of the time, which now I love. It makes my life extraordinary in an ordinary world. This is why I must boldly tell you; I am an artist. I’m sure you already knew that or at least suspected.

Different Paths is a poem about how there are different options in life. Sometimes it is confusing and you may choose the wrong path but God can and will guide you.
Paths open.
They may wind away
or lead you home.
One may desire you to stay
while others push you to go.
Only a guide will truly know
what is right and what is true,
so trust the guide.
He will lead you safely home.
Pour paintings have been a trend that interests me. They are all so unique, so I did one. Of course, when I was done it didn’t look like something that I could call mine. I decided to add a border of pink and silver. That is what it needed.
What do you think of it? Let me know by commenting down below.

On YouTube I do have a playlist dedicated for sped up paintings. I also have a section on this site where I share my visual arts portfolio along with my painting portfolio.
As you may know, I have a Redbubble and Threadless shop. These are 2 print on demand shops, where I post my digital drawings. Here are my 3 most recent digital drawings that I have for sale as prints.
This art piece was originally for my book “To Love.” I really love how the color and shading came out, so I thought I’d share it here with you.
Here is part of a hibiscus shrub with a few mute magenta flowers and leaves.
Here is a fun giraffe drawing that I made specifically to create a puzzle for my friend.
I hope you enjoyed checking out my most recent digital drawings. If you would like to check out more of my digital artwork I do have my portfolio up..
Pen To Paper is a poem about writing and the reasons that I write. Writing to me is an exploration and is about discovering things I didn’t realize before.
Pen to paper.
Paper to pen.
I will write
to see the ink flow
to find what's inside of me.
With random ramblings
I find treausres inside.
Whispered words of wisdom
never looked at before
never thought of in the past,
so I put
pen to paper.
Paper to pen
and I write.
My next book is coming out soon. It is my next poetry book and it’s called “Garden Of Poems.”
It should be out early in February as long as everything goes as planned so when I say coming soon I mean it. The proof is on its way to me and I should be able to give the okay on everything as soon as I review that.
“Garden Of Poems” is a 40 poem book of poetry from 2013 to late 2020. A lot are unpublished and the few that have been posted to my site have been heavily edited. I am so excited about this book. I cannot wait for you to read it.

I do have my poetry portfolio and I do post rough poems regularly onto this site. I also have a couple of books on amazon. They are Growing Poems and To Love. If you want to just listen or watch some readings of my writings that are available on YouTube.
I love improv and for a little bit, I was in a troupe that meant weekly. We would get together and practice improvisational acting through games. Some required multiple people with strict formats. Other games were solo practices. Rant and Rave is one game where you perform an improvized monologue about something you love or hate. The topic would be given to you by the audience or when we were practicing one of the other members.
Around the time I was in that troupe I wanted to do some extra acting so asked Facebook and my friends for prompts. With two prompts I was able to do a rant and rave. The Veruca Salt was a different kind of a prompt where I just made up a monologue. Here are the three videos that came out of the prompts.

This poem is about praising God for all He has done. More and more I want to praise Him for the creativity and life He has given me. That is why more of my current poems are focused on God.
Praise,
praise Him,
who created heaven and earth.
Praise Him,
who guided Israel to the promise land.
Praise Him,
who oh so loved the world.
Please Him,
who gave Jesus to the nations.
Praise Him,
who deated death.
Praise Him,
who oh so loved the world.
Praise Him,
who gives new life.
Praise Him,
who guides you and me.
Praise Him,
who oh so loves the world.
I love combining blue with bright pink to create a beautiful color pallet. In this painting, each heart is a bit different but they all come together to form one painting. In a way, Pink Heart Party shows us that we even when we seem similar each one of us is unique and we can come together to create something of beauty.
