WICKER PARK CHICAGO YEARS 1

A couple of days ago one of my very first artistfriends Chrysolite Benoit from more than 10 years ago came by and we reminisced about the good old days of living and working in the 'flat iron building' in Wicker Park Chicago, we got drunk on Belgium beer.
 Chrysolite 1

1. One of my very first oils on canvas, when I arrived in Chicago I met Chrysolite she was a artist like me and had the same birthday, we felt free and painted our asses off.

2. watercolour on paper in color sketchbook.
The book is actually a photo book someone gave me, I just started painting in it, the paper is flimsy, thin and full of little holes. The paint was of a gouache kidspaintpalet I found on the street it missed 50% of it's colors but that's what I used until I had money to buy some fresh paint.
