Living the Dream

My photo
I grew up at "the end of the road" in the very small size woodsy town called Ely in way northern Minnesota (5hrs north of Minneapolis) and quickly got out ;) Went to MCAE art school for 11th and 12th grade in Minneapolis. After that I just journeyed around a bunch!, a bunch a bunch! from Arizona to Colorado, from Seattle to San Francisco and every where around them, with of course the adventure to Europe and traveling all over from Spain to Amsterdam judging the Cannabis Cup to skiing down the Swiss Alps, seeing the Dali museum and sitting at Jim Morrison's grave. I now live in Seattle with friends and family spread out all over, I love to paint and to pay the bills I've worked lots of jobs but I'm good with people so restaurant work has made for a good fit. Plus with the whole jump up and go traveling thing. What else, what else... I don't know there's tons, look for the book. And Hey! Please comment (remember you need to follow me to comment) and I'm still painting so there's often new stuff, I'd love to have you as a follower and hear your comments, or as known on my page a dream makers :)

DEMI

Acrylic on Canvas
2ft by 3ft
This is a painting I did completely inspired by my dad. He'd been asking me to paint him something for years and when I'd say "what?", his responce was always "I don't know just something." So he finally comes to me with this idea where he wants a hand holding a bunch of leaves we'll go with;) Being he'd finally given me a specific after all these years I couldn't disappoint but wanted to do a little more. So I thought to column it out, right to left is the Ely water-tower over a classic Minnesota sunset. Dad moved around alot but spent much time here. He also lived in a few different houses that all happen to be on Harvey Street, plus I lived with him in one of those houses. Next he loved his poker games with his friends and online, his favorite card being Jack of spades, and a shout out to his "Trust Me" tattoo. Next  this was all inspired by his request of the hand holding, I wanted to put a little hippy days in here hence the Tye-Dye. Next are his kids initial's with a little of their flair on each. Gotta have a sports column of course, his teams, and his favorite sports. Leading all up to where he recently moved fishing with the Ozark Mountains in the backround in Arkansas.
