I'M SO TORN!!! It drives me crazy that I have to sacrifice for the environment! I hate it. I wish I was one of those people that just make good choices naturally. But I'm not. I like things now...I like things tasty...and I like 'em CLEAN! So I painted this image to remind me that I can't have it all. And it hurts...I'm gonna miss you my love...
I love this guy. Yes, he's a fish, but clearly he's a romantic. He's the guy that will bring you chocolate without being prompted. And remember some obscure anniversary, like, "This date marks two years since the first time you tied my tie." 
This painting came about because I walk my adorable dog through the park almost every day. And every day I drop goldfish flakes into my daughter's State-Fair-coin-toss-prize goldfish tank and I think, "If only I could walk my goldfish through the park..." And while considering that I began to wonder what I must look like to them, through that big plate of glass that they can never understand... 
I've been asked by my father, who has been in the news game for more than thirty years, to describe my work in one sentence. It's just one sentence, how hard can that be? "Colorful" is at least accurate, I thought... "Bold" is usually used in my presence... and "Quirky" is probably the best description. So, "Colorful, bold, and quirky depictions (that sounds pretty good) of some modern topics... that just won't leave me alone," was my original thought. It's true, the topics really won't leave me alone, but I don't think you should use the word "bold" when describing your own work, and "colorful" sounds too childlike. But my work isn't exactly adultlike, so I ramain stuck.
