“Flowers In Your Hair”
#TheLumineers
When we were younger we thought
Everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little
And romanticized the time I saw
Flowers in your hair
Cause it takes a boy to live
But it takes a man to pretend he was there
So then we grew a little and knew a lot
And now we demonstrated it to the cops
And all the things we said
We were self-assured
Cause it’s a long road to wisdom
But it’s a short one
To being ignored
Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes ai yai yai
Be in my heart
So now I think that I could
Love you back
And I hope it’s not too late cause you’re so attractive
And the way you move
I won’t close my eyes
Cause it takes a man to live
But it takes a woman to make him compromise
Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes ai yai yai
Be in my heart

Flowers in her hair,
Eyes closed.
Endless dreams,
Mind wandering.
Alive,
And truthful…
She dreams.

When asked, “what are you passionate about?” the first that comes to mind is painting. I paint to express whatever I go through in life. And when I do, I forget the entire world. I’m in love with it. Do I sell them (the actual paintings)? No. I’ve been asked several times but I have yet to come to that phase where I am able to let go. I do, however, have canvas bag collections in collaboration with TravelFindsShop.com.
The first collection only consisted of 8 bags. These were hand painted canvas bags and all of them were sold within two days of being out in the market. The 2nd collection consists of paintings from a very interesting phase of my life, 2013. It was a year full of changes and emotions and that is what you’ll find in these paintings.
La Fille. Chaos. La Dame Rouge. The Dove. Daydreamer. My Heart. All and None. Waiting. Tabula Rasa. Different Faces, different women, me.
It’s been a wonderful adventure so far! And I love how individuals can relate to these paintings and what I’ve written about them. They are me at different phases of my life, my beautiful reminders.

My Art: La Fille 6/25/2013
A clean slate,
A beautiful tomorrow,
A girl.
I often paint sadness. I believe this you can see when you take a look at the women in my gallery. I find myself doing so to forget whatever it is that I’m going through in my life. What’s highly unusual is when I end up painting something slightly pleasant, something beautiful, something hopeful.
La Fille is out of the ordinary when it comes to me and my paintings. She is beautiful, hopeful, and loving. I look at her and I remember one of my favorite phrases: Tabula Rasa. I see nothing but peace and contentment.
She reminds me of who I was, full of enthusiasm and hope for what tomorrow has to bring. And it is exactly because of this that I love her the most. She reminds me of how refreshing life is and how beautiful each tomorrow can be depending on how we look at is.
A clean slate, yes. Beautiful tomorrows and a girl.

My Art. My Heart. 06/2011
I named this painting after a song that pretty much described how I felt at that very moment, Hiding My Heart by Adele.
This I painted when I fell in love with a person that I had to let go of, not because of the lack of love we had for each other, but because of geography.
It is often because of reasons like this that make the loss of love even more painful. It is when things are like this when you wonder about what answers you would have for questions that begin with “what if”?
What if he lived in the same city?
What if we tried harder?
What if he’d find me again in the future?
Questions, all questions, and no answers. All I really had left was the memory of how beautiful and real it was and that is enough.
Hiding My Heart – Adele
This is how the story went I met someone by accident
Who blew me away, blew me away
It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, buried them away
Drop off at the train station
Put a kiss on top of your head
Watch you wave, you watched you wave
Then I went on home to my skyscrapers
Neon lights and waiting papers
That I call home, I call that home
I woke up feeling heavy hearted I’m going back to where I started
The morning rain, morning rain
Although I wish that you were here
That same old road that brought me here
It’s calling me home, it’s calling me home
I wish I could lay down beside you when the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I’ve ever known, you disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away
I can’t spend my whole life hiding my heart away
