It's best to really plan out a painting. To do multiple studies, sketch, plot our your composition, choose your color palette in advance ... but impatience gets the best of me and I most often end up just going for it. Like now. The risk you take is that sometimes it works out and sometimes it truly doesn't. Luckily, this time it's all coming together.
Hello 2017!
I don't believe in New Years resolutions ... but I do think that we need those fresh starts, that recharge. So this year I vow to kick my creative ass into gear. I've taken several long hiatuses from creating artwork in my life ... an they felt as anyone would expect: like deep droughts. It's not easy to hold a full-time office job and still remain productive, creatively. It takes a lot of personal deadlines, motivation and discipline. Making art is work. Sure, it can feel therapeutic, meditative and "relaxing," but only because it's so painstakingly mind-bending, there's little room to think about anything else in that moment. Every painting becomes a puzzle. How to put it all together, just so. I often don't, but each painting brings me closer. So as self-serving as my creative process has become, I hope you also enjoy my images this year. Please message me for print and original purchase options (I can work with you on specific dimensions) as I slowly but surely get my online shop together.
Peace!
All my images in one place.
My new website is still a work in progress, but I've been meaning to gather all of my images in one place for a long time. Please enjoy and tell me what you think!
