			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Title: NY Blood Flower 2005</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chicasound.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ShowAsset-1.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-835" title="NY Blood Flower" src="http://www.chicasound.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ShowAsset-1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Since I was a child I have been fascinated with the oxidation process. From the vibrant luscious red of a fresh rose that turns into the deep burgundy color in its remaining days.  Then it just fades into black.  The similarities of the oxidized blood were just so brilliant to me there almost one in the same.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Red is life and pink is healing.  I experimented with using metallic pigments with acrylic in the pink brush strokes.  As a result the painting seems to come to life in different light exposures.  In every home I had or any room I hung this painting up it has turned into an automatic focal point that can’t be ignored.</p>

<p>Art used to be something I would run home to do and I lost that.  I have always been ambitious in my career and I have totally immersed myself in my new business that I forgot that I like to paint.  Not only do I like to paint but I really want to start exposing my art not only on the internet but I am now willing to show it.</p>
<p>In this part of my life my driving response to anything in life, entrepreneur, marriage, soon to be fit body, and world traveler is this.  “If not now WHEN?!  Now is the time.  This is my now.  This part of my life is my greatest adventure.  This is my art blog.  Be forewarned I am inappropriate, opinionated and unapologetic.  I don’t intentionally offend but it happens.</p>
<p>I hope to see you around while I shamelessly tell all about my artistic adventures.</p>
