Super Hero Card by Alejandra Perez

My ideal super hero is a educated HUMAN being.

why: Education is right that has been violated, torn, washed, broken, burned, and all that is bad. Education is the only thing standing between YOU & I.

GET TO KNOW YOUR HISTORY FOLKS, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING...

Starry Night by Dianna & Dennys Balestra

Starry Night-

I love my lil ones, yet they can be wild but there children, they are my biggest fans and support me in every work of art I do. Seems their teachers know me better then I know them. These young Artist are my lil sisters, twins, turned 10 this year.

The piece came to be, as they wanted their own work shown as a master piece, I showed them how to stencil and mix two colors to make a night sky. Sometimes the color BLUE isn't enough, I helped them step by step but work is all done by their precious hands...my BIGGEST FANS...

Flight of The Birds by Alejandra Perez

Flight of the Birds- Became to be a piece a client asked for, but it was more then just just paint on a brush, at the time life was taking course and i had no ground to land, but we all know life is not easy, this painting became personal. I'm proud of it though...every brush stroke counts...
