New work ! 

I just finish a piece for Grad-School with a prompt things are not what they seem. One of the stipulations to the assignment  was to use a medium you are not use to using. I chose watercolors. I looked up Rubens Vase and some new contemporary artist to get some Ideas. I chose to do a woman's portrait but with a zoomorphic spin on it.

Can we express what we need on paper to connect with others? As artist? Today I am going to march into the pain and confess my sins and my dark secrets through art. Oddly enough we do this and we are taught how to talk about it. I feel like my work screams some times but its that fallen tree in the woods but, only I can hear it because its my tree. The Invisible, My tree.
