Road Trip: Colorado Springs/Norris Wedding.

A little over a month ago Chris received a call from our friend Nash to tell him that his summer wedding had been moved to march. Location was also moved, it would no longer be in Texas but in Colorado. We wouldn't have missed it for the world -of course- but it was too late to find good airfares; we went for the more wallet-friendly option and made it a road trip.

Affogato Sunday

It's 10:28 PM on the first 'daylight savings' night before a new work week starts and although many say that one hour doesn't affect them and it is easy to adjust to the transition (Mr. Mather being one of them, he is completely passed out right next to me), it's not true in my case. My brain still thinks it's 9:28 PM, code for -too early to sleep.

The Beetle

Two things come to my mind when I think of a volkswagen Beettle: the unique noise they make when you start them and my amazing uncle Nano (his name is Hugo, Nano was the nickname my sisters and I gave him when we were kids, don't ask why).

I can't say the Beetle I painted is after my uncle's; for starters his is white, also, he bought his in 1979, brand new, which means the years wouldn't match. However, I do have to thank my uncle for the love I have for these cars. In a sense, they both share the same personality -one of a kind, cool like no other and you can't help but smile when you look at them. 

Burning Forest

Remember how part of the plan I had for the next months was to reconnect with brushes and colors? Some progress has been made towards this project. 

In the past week I have painted a couple of things. Here is the first one.

I have named it “Burning Forest”. Mainly because I feel that if I want to exhibit my work eventually I am supposed to give each painting a name or something to recognize them by.

So here is the first of, I hope, many more.
