And it’s finished.
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We had a beautiful snow day on Saturday – much to my surprise, I woke up to a winter wonderland.

I hope everyone had a happy Monday – I’ve been busy working away with record keeping (so yes, it hasn’t been the most exciting Monday ever). I thought I’d share one of my latest pieces that I did for an upcoming exhibition. The show has a theme of words and phrases used in art, so I decided to do a cup of coffee.

Yesterday was quite the hectic day – lots of running around doing errands and the gallery meeting went well. Now all I need to do is create enough new artwork for the show in May. I wish I had more time for the deadline, but we shall see what I manage to come up with. I also need to get started with ordering frames for my large 24″x18″ pieces.
Anyway, here’s another animal collage that I’ll possibly use for the August animal exhibition.

Another animal collage for the upcoming show in August. I took another trip to the zoo for inspiration the other day. I’ll post a couple of pictures from the day when I get around to uploading them on my computer.

Here’s the last dog portrait I did for my latest mini collage series – I’ll probably work on more of these in the future. At the moment, I’m busy getting new artwork prepared for my show in May. I’ve decided to create a few new figurative pieces so that my two portraiture shows this summer will be a bit different from one another. Since I really like working on animal portraits, I might just have to find time on the side to start a mini cat series. So we shall see…

Another piece inspired by the zoo. This guy always seems lounging about whenever I walk by.
I’m also getting ready to plan out a few more portraits. The first batch I was working on last year was intended for a show this July, and now I’ve decided to provide some new and different work for a portraiture show I’m having in May. So stay posted, there’s more to come…
Poodle

Another addition to my mini dog series. I have one more dog collage to post and then I hope to begin work on a cat series in the not so distant future.
Already I have quite a few things on my plate for the New Year:
- Create new artwork for my upcoming solo exhibition in May (the first of three for the year)
- Take higher resolution photographs of all of the collages that are still in my possession
- Go on a magnet-making spree
- Start planning out a children’s book
Busy? Yes, but art making is so enjoyable that I don’t mind all the work.
Anyway, I hope everyone has had a wonderful start to a New Year.

Here’s another piece I’ve done to go along with the body of work I’m working on for one of my solo exhibitions this year – it will focus solely on animal collages, with most of them being inspired by my trips to the zoo.
I hope everyone had a Happy New Year! I’ve started off my New Year by quitting my desk job so now I can pursue working for myself in web design and have more time to work on art.
Snowflakes

And I’ve finished the Alice Childress quote piece. For X-mas, I received a light-kit and a nice Nikon camera, so now my collage pictures should look much brighter and more detailed. “Snowflakes” is the first collage I’ve taken pictures of with my new camera and kit.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a fun holiday!
Iguana

Here’s another piece inspired by one of my trips to the National Zoo in DC, when I stopped by the Reptile House. I’m always finding compositions for future works of art there when I stroll around with my camera.
