Eek!). So thankful to @chetzar And @coprogallery For including me! I have a bunch of photos I took on my SLR that I'll be posting later this week.

The idea came through thinking about how we all have our vices, even the seemingly perfect 1950's father. One who hides his neuroses and skeletons in his closet behind the image of his perfection. Still have details to tighten before glazing. Check back for more progress! What are YOUR vices or bad habits?!

“The Gift of Grievance” 2018 Oil on Masonite Original available! Link in bio for purchase and prints! More information on this artwork: The superstition of opening an umbrella indoors spans across many cultures. While the origin is not completely agreed upon, some say it can be traced back to the Egyptians. Umbrellas were used mainly in Egypt to protect (mostly nobility or religious leaders) from the heat of the sun, not the rain, and were thought to ward off spirits who may do them harm. To open one inside or even in the shade would offend the Sun God. In Bulgarian culture, the only time to collect an even number of flowers is when you attend a funeral. And shoes placed on a table symbolize the death of a loved one, and can also be associated with contamination. #darkartists #darkartsociety #sanfrancisco #artexhibition #oilpainting #beautifulbizarremagazine #beautifulbizarre #umbrella #superstitions #superstitious #unlucky #lucky #goodluckbadluck #fingerscrossed #bulgariansuperstitions #bulgaria #portraits #womenportraits
