Vanilla Sky

Ok, so this is my new favorite. I didn't draw anything before hand, I did it right on the canvas with the brush and it turned out so well. 

I was walking to my car after work and noticed this beautifully colorful sunset over a bridge.  So I took out my camera and snapped a picture.  It reminded me of crazy vanilla ice cream I used to get as a kid. it was basically just vanilla ice cream but in  a lot of crazy colors. This sky looked cold kind of reminding us that winter is coming. And crazy Lola managed to leave her mark as usual. She somehow managed to get up there and spray paint her name

Pink!


This is one of my latest. It's called Pink! in honor of breast cancer awareness month. A friend of mine at work is a breast cancer survivor and she has a lot to do with organizing the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure walk in October. She knew I painted and asked if I would like to donate a framed piece to be raffled off. It is a great cause and I have an aunt who is a breast cancer survivor.

Anyway so this friend of mine has seen my painting, Through Rose Colored Glasses (See Below) and she really like the concept, considering that people diagnosed with cancer have to try and maintain an optimistic outlook. That specific painting is hanging in a gallery right 
now so she asked if I could create something similar. The walk takes place at the Philadelphia Art Museum so I figured the background on this painting would kind of be like that. I will also be there at the walk painting pink ribbons on people faces. It's great because I don't have any money to give so giving my time and donating my painting is something!

That Darn Lola....







http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping















Ok, so this one is called, The Morning After (Lola Was Here). As you can see this is the reflection of Lola leaving a one night stand, in the bathroom mirror. You can see her signature AppleBottom Jeans, too.  It must have been a good night because she's left her phone number in red lipstick on the mirror.
It's weird, the idea for this one came to me in the middle of the night, I think I woke up to get some water and I had this picture in my head that I thought was clever. Lola gets into all kinds of trouble but I think it's fair to say that she has pretty much fun while she's doing it.
