tomato can, episode 17-18

in the name of the moon, he will send you to the hospital

Life update here since I have my husband's family on twitter lol we decided to wait to move until we pay off a few things. We are hoping in the next year to move 😊 we decided to be financially responsible before purchasing our next home lol but because we were originally waiting to have a baby until we moved we decided that we won't wait until then lol we are going to start try to have a baby in June! I'm waiting to announce this to family in case we have any issues with conceiving, but I can't wait 🥰

We started our year off right with the most amazing honeymoon a girl could ask for. Tomorrow I start my new job, we are going to start house hunting in the spring, and after we move we will start trying for a baby. To say I am beyond excited for this year is an understatement 🥰

My husband is head-first in his baby fever now and told me he wants to get me pregnant while we were in Hawaii next week. I told him it's not possible because I won't be ovulating, and he said, "challenge accepted." 💀 SIR

YES YES YES

I can’t stop thinking about how annoying and adorable Nico must have been at that time, and how Dionysus must remember that once bright-eyed child.

I mean, to be honest, Dionysus is kind of an asshole god, but so are most of the other gods, too. Even then, though, Nico is probably one of the only people to have ever complimented him like... that. No doubt he was a little flattered, because other demigods don’t say that his powers in a Mythomagic game are “sweet.”

I wonder if Dionysus looks at Nico now and thinks about that moment he first met the child of Hades. He probably feels a great sense of loss, because as I’m sure he knows, demigods don’t live happy lives. Nico came to camp with a positive outlook, and now he’s here getting therapy from Dionysus. Maybe some part of the wine god was hoping Nico could get a happier ending, but here he is, depressed and traumatized.

But I also like to think about the fact that Dionysus likes to tease Nico about this moment, call him out for being such a nerd during their therapy sessions, if only to bring out that inkling of the bright-eyed child he met that day. Maybe even Nico laughs about it.

I feel like their dynamic is so interesting, and I’m really hoping we can get more of it in the potential Nico book.

Union Station#9 ,11" x 14" oil on wood. A 2019 oil painting of Union Station, one of the main stations in Ontario Canada during its never ending construction cyles lol. Interestingly since painting this piece they’ve added a new skyscraper in the background and a part of the station in the painting has been demolished and reconstructed.

I can probably repaint this exact composition and have it look like different painting which is one of the things I like about the subject I work with, it changes quite a bit over time.

First paint through of this piece. It's another Wilson station painting and it's only a coincidence that two pieces are the same station lol. (Subway station in Toronto Canada) This first stage is generally to get base colours down and get a general light direction. Drawing errors get fixed in this stage.

Union Station #8 2018. Oil on Wood 10" x 8" an earlier piece from 2018, generally I use the smaller pieces to test things out and with this one I wanted to see how texture changed the overall painting. I like the texture in the cool sky but I think it was a little too strong in comparison to the rest of the painting.

I think overall I think the painting was succesful and a great learning experience.

Brampton Go Station #2 2018 The main station in Brampton, a city in Ontario Canada that's slowly growing.One of the things that caught my eye was the original building of the station is still up after 100+ years with the new additions on the right side.

I remember that one of the reason the collector bought this piece was because it felt dream like, especially without the fence on the right side. The station is on a slight hill which almost looks like its floating when you remove the city buildings on the right.

Union Station #12 2019, Oil on Wood 14" x 11" Past painting of Union Station in Toronto Canada. One of my favorite buildings to paint and over the years of painting it has changed quite a bit. Several of the spots in the station that I've painted no longer exist so the paintings act as a document of history.
