Be Kind To Yourself

Eric — Wed, 15 May 2013 18:51:23 +0000

I was plagued for so long with lack of belief in myself. Lack of true confidence and self-worth. I had this inner voice constantly criticizing, telling me I was bad or unworthy, correcting me, anchoring me and weighing me down. Most big opportunities I had in life, I held back from. I couldn’t do that, [...]

A New Direction

Eric — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:47:08 +0000

“Pears” – Oil Pastels Art

Eric — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:57:34 +0000

“Pears” is an oil pastels piece done in 2011. The surface is pastelbord, and the size of the piece is 8×10. I really love pastelbord the more I use it. There really is no comparison with pastel paper of any sort. Not only is pastelbord a solid, thick surface, but the actual surface itself is [...]

Five years ago…

On July 22, 2006, five years ago today, I went on a first date with the person who is now my wife, Arleen. We went to go see the movie Pirates of the Caribbean 2. It wasn’t an official “date”… we planned to meet with other coworkers for the movie, but as it turned out, [...]

“Wet Lips” – Oil Pastel Realism

Eric — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 20:26:38 +0000

This oil pastels painting was done as an attempt at realism using oil pastels. I was inspired by looking through the magnificent artwork of Alyssa Monks, and I decided I wanted to push my artwork further than I have previously attempted. The piece was done on a white 8×10 Pastelbord (made by Ampersand), with a [...]
