I’m having my first gallery art exhibition June through July. I’m so excited.

Two watercolor flowers done this weekend.

This is a study in pasels of the Rady Shell outdoor concert venue on the beautiful San Diego waterfront. I hope to paint a larger acrylic of this beautiful place

This is something all Americans should know about how this nation evolved into a regime of corporate power www.facebook.com/reel/1864127...

I’m voting for Javier Becerra! His campaign rally was very informative. His background is extensive. Tom the billionaire Steyer is putting out some tv ads that are a hair’s width from being an outright lie

This is a portrait of my youngest son.

This is a portrait of my son, Nico Portillo. Acrylic on canvas

I just finished this painting of my mother

My pop up art exhibition and sale in Barrio Logan was a success. I sold 11 paintings. I was surprised and thrilled. Thought if I sold 5 it would be great. Surpassed my goal.

This shopping in my fridge dinner turned out great.

I’ll be in front of Juan Vargas office with a sign today.

I woke up at 3:30 am. Stressed, angry and ashamed that Juan Vargas represents my district in congress. I’ve had no respect or confidence in that lazy nothing since he was elected years ago. Surely there is a viable Dem who can primary him.

Oil pastels

Oil pastels, gel sticks and prisma color pencils

This is a small watercolor, about 5x7

My latest painting.

Happy Valentine’s Day. This is a detail from an acrylic painting I’m working on.

@aoc.bsky.social If Dems agree to attend tRump’s state of the Union, I suggest all members carry a cardboard face of Epstein on a popsicle stick handle and hold it up to their faces as the Pedo in chief begins to spout lies.

Pastel on the left acrylics on the right.

My latest. 2nd attempt at using oil pastels. Black history is USA history.

Planet of the Rapes

This is primary season. I’d like to see do nothing Juan Vargas primaried. He has been ineffective in so many ways. The sewage issue along the border in San Diego county, lack of in person town halls and more. I want to be represented in Congress.

My favorite T-shirt

Just finished. Title El Jaguar de Los Mayas

A quick portrait of my mother done in pastels. I did learn today that fry pastels and oil pastels don’t mix well
