pinturitas






i made a couple of new paintings. i finished them all after work one night. i've been trying to find some new inspiration so that i can start a new series of paintings. i usually tend to dig into my familys life stories. i like to hear about their experiences in life. i've been thinking about painting portraits, but im still thinking about it. the other day daniel and i watched this movie called fur...its about this well known photographer diane arbus. i liked her idea of photographing people who were not normally photographed. she takes portraits of sideshow people, drag queens, and anything that is not normal. i like her ideas and the way she feels these people are beautiful in their own way.
