Paint ... Paint ... and more paint!

This is another of my hobbies... Paint, paint and paint!!!...

I've drawn and paint since I think 4th grade... it started with "Candy, Candy" and "Ziggy" (was the 70's or early 80's!), I used to draw and embossed in parchment paper and coloring it from the back... my friends loved it and all of them had little pictures... I used to sit on my grandfather's hardware store looking outside the hours passed by and just a piece of paper and a pencil could do it for me... the trees, the sidewalk, building, people... So I used to do a lot of realistic drawing ... But lately abstract is what I feel and come out of the brushes... and here are some of the works...

I like to work on wood... So this last one I paint it on some wood pieces from a piece of furniture we disassemble... How can you throw away that perfect wood?!!!... 

The painting has progress into this too...

The girls loved fairies and castles, so I came up with this... and for a couple of years they were happy with it... at the moment is again a white canvas and will post about that later (in progress of the kids bedroom)...

For my boy's wall (when he was a baby) I did this animal mural, the idea was to teach him about the animals names, sounds, etc. ... I can't describe how he enjoyed getting in his room and every time walking to his wall and doing animal sounds! (oh, the years passed so fast!!!).

This is the bathroom wall, they love everything from the ocean... so I design this... and no matter how hard I try to take good and nice pictures I can't!!!... So you'll have to go with me when I say that there are more details in the picture that can't be appreciated in these pictures (frown face)... Even more, sorry I couldn't move the picture here (he,he).

And this...

Again, sorry for the side-turned picture...

And this I did it so I could measure them in time... At the moment the bigger one is reaching the eyes level and soon the dino will be too short!... I'll have to start thinking in another picture that keeps up for a longer time and fit the boy and girls interests!.
