Take Hold....

"Take Hold" (acrylic, 20x20")

I'm enjoying this play with color, used in non-traditional ways.  This may turn into a series... reaching, touching, holding, etc.  -Erico

 The challenging times...

"I Got You"(acrylic, 12x48")

These are definitely trying times for all of us.  I hope I've expressed the best sentiment here.   Life is hard.  Hope and compassion are needed.  I hope I'm living up to the title of this piece.  -Erico

 Painting Poppies...

"Blue Poppies" (acrylic, 16x20)

Painting Parties are fun at Inspiration Studios.  While teaching others to create their version of a field of poppies, I created this piece.  It was fun.  I'm learning how my communication style can impact what others create.  This may be a life lesson, applicable to other aspects of my interactions with others.  In this case, the results of the painting party (paint n sip) were quite spectacular and so much fun!  View them at inspirationstudiosgallery.com.  -Erico

Poppies...

"Poppies"  (acrylic, 16x")20

I've been struggling to get inspired to paint.  This was a fun project with the intention of creating something for an upcoming Paint 'n Sip party on Mother's Day.  Hopefully it will lead to more creative expression.   -Erico

 By Faith...

"By Faith" (acrylics, 16x20")

Inspired by the Christmas season, this faith-inspired painting is a gift for a friend Lucy, whose life has been challenged in so many ways the past few years.  I pray for strength and peace.  -Erico

 Christmas 2020...

"Bendecid al Senor" (acrylics, 24x36")

Painted on Christmas Eve as a gift for my good friend, Patrina, who has always been there for me... over the past 40 years!  Merry Christmas!

Inspired...

"Campground" (acrylic, 16x20")

I'm trying to find solace in the weather, although it's sometimes too stiffling and oppressive for my liking.  Hopefully I can channel my energies and continue to create art.  -Erico
