An idea that I’ve been working on for a bit. Some parts of it reminds of Picasso. Anyway I am wanting to keep this as abstract as possible. I am looking at 2010 the same way. I will re-post the painting as I move along.
Will be on the back cover of my wife’s book of poems and photos. Should be available at the end of the month.
Taking a break from large (for me) paintings. I want to master or a least get better at constructing and completing more complicated paintings-but every once in a while it works to begin and finish a small paintings.
My good friend and artist Nancy got me out of the house and over to a drawing/sketch group up in the hills of Cave Creek (Beautiful, near a real creek) and once I started drawing life seemed to make sense (overly dramatic but what heck). I had forgotten how much I love drawing and especially working with a good model.
There is always the question of when to stop painting. I can never figure it out.
What we've Become
I often go to far and losing the freshness of painting. Here, with this one I just stopped. Think I will stick it in a closet and look at again next month.
As much as I might try I am not able to get away from the human face. Given the fun I might as well enjoy.
Doing these progressions help me understand the decision I am making and a way for me to learn.
It dosen’t look like I can have the showing I wanted next month. I most likely needed more time and it’s been said by someone
“things always work out for the best”
Who said that, I would love to know.
