Birthdays ideas for tanks

here are a few ideas i had when working with my dog tank. trying to figure out what would be somthing fun fast and a great birthday card for myself and him! hope you enjoy! ps our Birthday is damn near here!!!=]

The Leap.

-Medium Gouache-
20 mint painting

I sit and wonder why we as human are always scared to take that leap of faith. i have heard many say, i wish i would of done it, or man why did i let that opportunity go. I understand we are making a blind leap, but those memories that will be made, are worth more then sitting down late at night and wondering what would of been. take each moment to make that leap of faith to better your life,to love, laugh and simply live. live in the moment! take the Leap! oh my shoes!

-Medium Gouache- 10 mins.
here are two fast gouache drawings

school is about to start, and like always i get butterflies and scared for it. as i speak... i just want it to be the 1st day of school already... my heart is beating faster then a sprinter. hey what if i take an apple?...

oh poor guy all he wants to do is feed his family...yikes what a way to go...

Wheres the Key?

-Medium Gouache-
this was going to be the last one of my Vday theme. my internet has not been working right, but im grateful its working now!

Iv met many people who will lock there true self in a box and for get about it. some have locked it so that others may no hurt them(do to pass experience) or others have it so that someone can unlock it(wishful thinking). whatever the case might be, remember that you cannot always hide who you are, what you feel, or what you want, life is about ups and down, if you lock yourself you will never live. oh wait heres the key! pheeewww take it.

One More Shot

-Medium Gouache-

Sometimes you have this feeling that your trying everything for that heart..and you know its not you, well here is the reason. this guy has had one to many....We keep on wishing that the next shot will hit the mark. yet he keeps missing. this Valentines day, if you do have some one, dont use one day to show that you care and love them, each day should be fill with "love" and great moments. "love" isnt perfect,
but those imperfections is what makes "love" worth it.take a moment to realize that there are many out there who will spend it alone, wishing they had a that one person to share it with. and to those who are alone, well heres looking at you kid, one more shot....please dont miss.

The frog and The Moon

-Medium Gouache-
Painting number 2.

what the frog wont do for that kiss. he'll become a prince and reach out and give you the moon. Some may miss the simple frog floating along the river looking out at the sky, keep your eyes open for that, it might just change you world.

Never a simple stroke.

Valentines week of paintings. the days leading to the "love" day i have decided to, make some small lose paintings based on this theme.

Painting number 1. -Medium Gouache-
I started the painting with an idea...but with everything i.e, friendship, love and all that good stuff, its never easy or comes out the way it is suppose to. it starts simple and it becomes complicated, the more we learn about a person the more you get involved with there lives, same is true with a painting. and if you are searching for the central core of emotions you know that big red things, touch your chest and feel it...feel it? yes each one of us is trying to reach someones red thump. with a painting i am always trying to reach that, with each one i finish i fall more in love with this thing called ART.
