Sadly, he got really sick and passed way too young. There were fundraisers but I was out of town. It makes me so sad for his family and friends. I don't know if any of his artwork is available, but I do know his murals are still out there.

Him and I crossed paths about 30 years ago. He was an artist who loved to paint "tag" walls and one on occassion he tagged a wall that he didn't have permission to paint on and which lead to meeting me. I loved his artist talent and he has some community service hours he needed to do so I got permission to have him paint a mural on my office wall. It was beautiful, bright colors and the word PEACE. I loved the mural and I can't believe I don't have a photo of it. A number of coworkers thought it was a negtive message encouraging a "tagger" to paint. Well fast forward 30 years and I came across his instagram. He is a fabulous muralist and artist. I had the pleasure to met up with him. Actually, I surprised him and he did remember me. On this particular day he was painting a mural at the Barrio Cafe, downtown Phoenix. It makes my soul happy to wittness the success story of Pablo the artist!</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </p>jobihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07094610760833673496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608872992740564513.post-92086055106862805922021-08-10T01:28:00.000-07:002021-08-10T01:28:08.694-07:00Murals<p><br />I have never painted anything on this large of scale, but boy are these artist amazing.

Punched one inch circles from a variety of scrapbook paper to use as the flower pedals. The leaves are cut from vintage wallpaper.

Yep, ten years! I purchased it from a friend who plays very well. I asked if she would give me lessons and she agreed, however for some reason I really don't recall, after one lesson I didn't go back. I think we had schedule problems. Then several years ago, another friend was visiting and he plays so we got the guitars out and he restrung and gave me a quick few tips. Fast forward to now.... another friend asked for one of the guitars. See I originally purchase one and borrowed a second one for my nephew. Again, neither one of us have ever learned. Back to present time...</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I decided to have this guitar tuned and fixed. Apparently, the low desert humidity is not good for guitars. I got it back a few weeks ago. I need to muster, is that word? the confidence to learn. I really would like to learn.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="5"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Fy4T6qAxEhMQDmfNTqH4YLFh295HIB5iJcX9J8W7reR55_ZUdYVRO-uX7q_Q_N15jwteG2JxMp2yVVTKkpGnIyoTkS0X_qmt8ey7KA6t0Gq9IwWKVSaL_Vtt0XW3u9j7zIhn5bLgBrA/s2048/Alvarez+bridge.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font face="helvetica"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Fy4T6qAxEhMQDmfNTqH4YLFh295HIB5iJcX9J8W7reR55_ZUdYVRO-uX7q_Q_N15jwteG2JxMp2yVVTKkpGnIyoTkS0X_qmt8ey7KA6t0Gq9IwWKVSaL_Vtt0XW3u9j7zIhn5bLgBrA/s640/Alvarez+bridge.JPG" width="640" /></font></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>jobihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07094610760833673496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608872992740564513.post-46305308872922760062020-07-26T23:17:00.000-07:002020-07-26T23:17:48.132-07:00Paintings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Sent these home to all my family members. I'm working on 30 more today to give out to friends. I'm using a much simpler pattern idea so I can make my elastic cord go further. Using 7" per side as opposed to 10". They won't have the metal nose piece nor the pocket for a filter.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all need to do our part in getting through this COVID-19 crisis. Today made a point to check in on friends and all seem to be doing good. Husband still going into his office and even though their company has implemented some changs, I don't think it's been enough. In the meantime, stay safe and do your part!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shelter in place = Studio time!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started working on two art pieces. I haven't painted in awhile and it feels good! They're far from done and that's the fun part of doing these pieces! Gotta add more paint, more texture, some glitter, lots of glitter, words, detail outlining and finishing touches. The details of the face will be my biggest challenge I think. I hope you use this time to get creative and feed your soul with positivity.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is my 2019 Xmas card! I ended up using only one of the girl photos. I altered five or six of them and time was not wasted because I will be using the altered photos for another project. You'll need to stay tune for that. I added texture by using a star stencil with texture paste I tinted with green glitter! I love glitter!!! I added red glitter drops to the crown stars and glitter to her wings. I titled the card "La Princesa de Naveidad" The Christmas Princess. I added a papals banner. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made a template and cut the envelopes out of this wonderful green thin paper. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The paper is a paint masking paper you can find in the paint isle in any home improvement store.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm really happy how my cards turned out. I never stress about my xmas card. The ideas for my xmas cards come along all year long. I like to use a technique, a paint, a color, a paper, a image, words I come across throughout the year. If I must be honest my head overflows with creative ideas all the time. I write or sketch ideas daily!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Scoured the internet looking at label image ideas.

I made a template and I'm using a green tinted paint mask off paper I got at home improvement store. I love the feel of the paper and it's study but thin.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sun is shinning into my brokenwing studio! Dusted off my Letterpress and Epic Six press. I haven't used them in years!! I've been brainstorming ideas for this year's Christmas card. I've been scoring the internet for inspiration, ideas, ideas and more ideas on how to use the letterpress. One thing I'm leaning into for this year's card is a Mexican style card. Loteria cards? Papel picado? Colorful? Florals? Serapes? I have so many supplies and ideas and narrowing it down is always the tough part.</span></div>
