A friend of mine randomly asked me to paint a picture of his girlfriend’s cow. She wanted the same design as a similar picture with a fluffy cowhide. I love painting pieces that take time and focus to make it look the best it can whenever it comes to detail and realism. It challenges me.

During practices, meets, and anything I would compete in, I would always remind myself that it’s just me and my lane. The only thing I should worry about is finishing my race.

I was walking my dog one day during the fall and the scene was very pleasant. It was about 70 degrees with a cool breeze and the color of the grass and leaves were so vibrant that it almost looked fake.

“Worlds Divided”

This was just a thinkpiece on how the world has changed so much with technology and corporations that we’re starting to separate from the beauty and natural energy of the earth. We grow tired of each day because we can’t take a moment to ourselves. With how competitive humans have grown, everything is “the next day” and never “for right now”. It’s hard to appreciate the beauty in the world when we move too fast.
