Reach my dreams

love

I will never reach my dreams without your love

My foundation for trying to achieve my dreams is because of my families love. Most important is my wife’s love. She gives up so much to allow me to be creative. She believes me. There is so much power in someone believing in you. It gives you the strength to keep climbing. TO achieve a dream is never over night. It’s a long journey. One with a lot of hardship. Money is always tight. Love though flows freely. I know my kids love having me around. We are always dreaming up adventures together. My youngest daughter wants to be an artist. As a family I hope we keep adding more love and happiness to this world each day.

On a positive note I started a writing project I’ve wanted to tackle for a long time. This time I will finish. I have to. I need to. It may end up being a big failure. That doesn’t matter really to me. What matters is doing the work. To leave my mark on this world. One hopefully makes it a little better.

Me + You = Love forever

love

I died the day I entered your heart

This drawing isn’t about physical death, it’s about death to oneself. I have been married for 24 years. I think this concept rings true if one wants to stay with someone for a long time. It’s hard to be in a relationship when you put ourself first all the time. I know this because I can be pretty selfish. I’m very lucky that my wife has put up with me for this long. It’s been rough since we have moved out to the east coast to help family. I haven’t helped them out as much as it’s helped me. I have had to do some big time adulting. (as the kids say) Many days I have been broken. Out of those broken pieces is growing a person that is more loving. I hope. It looks like we will be stuck out here for a year while trying to raise funds to get back. Getting rid of our rent controlled apartment in Hollywood was a big mistake. I’m learning from these failures. I plan to do release a few projects. I could be setting myself up for some big time failing or maybe just maybe I will succeed. I have no idea what that’s like but it would be nice to feel success. some day.

Lost key

lost key

Don’t forget you have the key to my heart

It’s been raining on and off all day. It’s suppose to rain all day tomorrow. This is making my depressed. I miss sunny California days. I’m one of the few people that love living in Los Angeles and I’m the one that left. I can’t wait to get back. It’s looking like we won’t be able to get out there for a year. We need to save up some more money. We have been hit with a few bills lately. I had to go to the hospital. A sweet kidney stone tried to do me in. I need to focus on getting my work done. My birthday is coming up soon. It would make me very happy to have some of my half finished projects done. I’m going to lay in bed for a little day dreaming about sunnier weather.

Fear the thief

fear trying to steal love

Fear
Stop stealing my love

Feeling stuck. Not living the life I want to live right now. I need to get off the mat. The terrible thing is I knocked myself down. I have learned a lot about myself in the last few months. One thing I have learned if I don’t have a plan each day my life goes off kilter. Quick. I end up wasting time on social media. I need to focus on finishing projects. Work. Work. Work is going to set my free. Only by completing things will I truly move ahead. I need to self all the ideas that run through my head each day and focus on finishing the one.

Draw a heart. Show love.

The beach?
No.
The mountains?
no.
Big city party?
No.
Your heart?
Yes.

Happy to be feeling better. Sunday I was in intense pain. Had to go to the hospital. Ended up passing a kidney stone monday morning. It was about half the size of a pea. Very thankful to have family to love me. Happy to have loved ones to take care of my family while I was sick. I was a grumpy Gus the whole time. Haven’t slept in the last few days. Very tired. Time to hit the hay. Enjoy tonights drawing.

Devour my heart

a mixed media heart being devoured

Devour my heart.

Very productive day. Went back to doing a construction job. Got a stairwell at a office building prepped for painting. Took the kids to the pool after work. had fun playing with them. Then I did a youtube video for our new toy channel. Then tried a little mixed media. I thought the heart turned out pretty well. I was doing research online about selling art. The name Kelly Rae Roberts came up. I’m thinking about buying her book for 140 bucks to help my site out.. She has a very nice story. I didn’t start doing art until I was 42. I hope to have may years making art. I would like to make a living doing it. Someday I will make a good living doing art.

Haunt me

love in the woods

In the darkness of our heart love is still there shimmering in the night.

The night sky has two washes of color. I wanted the night sky to have a depressing blue tone to it. The trees have at least three different color washes on them. I would love to experiment more with layering colors. I wanted the trees to have that horror film quality to them.. This is meant to be a place depending in the woods. Love is the illuminating light. We see a passionate red color forming a heart if you look closely at the trees. There are times I feel my heart is here deep in the woods far from everything. If love didn’t shine any light I would be lost. I’m thankful for that small bit of color.

Show love. Draw a heart.

Leftover

kissed

The world
burned
as I
kissed
you

With so much ugliness these days on Facebook it must have effected my subconscious. I dreamed last night the world came to an end. In my dream I only wanted to find my wife and kiss her. At least I am still thinking about love in those last moments. I don’t believe there will be World War III. I hope my faith in humanity pans out. Just in case I will keep living like every day is the last. So I will no go and take the the kids to the pool. Have a good weekend everybody.

Show love. Draw a heart.

No boundaries

love boundaries

Love sees thru all boundaries

Sweating in my house until I fix the air conditioner later. Rolling around a couple of life decisions in my head. Had to turn down a job in Los Angeles once again. I have been making great in roads in my life since I came out to the East coast. Every day I’m still learning about myself. I have so much to learn about being a loving person. Spent a good part of the morning running errands. Which has put me behind schedule on the projects I need to get done each day. I’ve been pushing myself to finish projects each day no matter what.

Draw a heart. Show love.
