EASTER BUNNIES AND EGGS

I like Easter because colors and flowers, and I decided to decorate my edible eggs with graphite drawings and motivational words.
Also I paint two rabbits on the grass looking for a egg. The print is available on my etsy for limited time.

SAMALAYUCA 16

I went to Ciudad Juárez during sandstorm time, and this is what I filmed during a few minutes. Is amazing to see directly to the sun covered with dust. We were on Samalayuca viisting La Sotolera, a place where you can eat and drink Sotol
. As you can see Im not a fabulous video shooter or editor :) I filmed this with my ipod and also edited on a simple easy app.

BIRDS ON DES MOINES

We went to Des Moines downtown to se sunset and suddenly we saw this amazing scenery.
I was not prepared to make this video, so this is what I filmed and edited with my iphone.

Some photos from that moment.

PORTRAIT OF J AND OWL

Years without draw at night but I wanted to draw. So this is how looks. I ended with a awful pain on my eyes, probably I need to get used to, or just a good lightning.

WINTER

Sunny days during snow is a miracle, I want sunny and warm days so badly, almost every day is gray, very different from Colorado winters. When Iowans told me about spend winter vacations on Colorado it was weird for me, but I think I know why, I ca believe this is the most beautiful place during summer, but winter... I have a name for Iowa during winter: Grayowa.
