Art and Words

I occassionally write, too.

“The intersection in that piece is loaded to the brim with memories from a very adventurous time of my life, full of growth, change, new friendships and new marriage. While many people probably don't take note, I've always been visually obsessed with road signs, overpasses, stop lights, light and shadow. So, clearly nostalgia was the major draw to this painting.  That being said, I've seen plenty of other nostalgic artwork that I've never given a second thought about. It was the way you captured the light, a moment, a little square of time that compelled me to buy "One Way”. You have a great painting style but the way you compose your paintings is what really draws me in.”

30 Paintings In 30 Days Challenge - Day 11

I really love this child's hair. I am keeping her hair as big shapes and tried not to get too bogged down in the details of every curl and wisp. I am working on thinking more about larger shapes, what's the least amount of information necessary to convey the form. I've got a long way to go but I'm loving the process of discovering it.  

It's now Day 11 and I've decided this should be called "My Daily Art Challenge". My initial intent was to paint a portrait everyday for the 30 days during January. What's happening is I'm drawing and painting and not accomplishing both in the same day - which is what I was hoping I'd do. And the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge has become more for me. And, of course, as usual, I think I can fit more into my life and my schedule than can actually happen. This time, I'm okay with it. I am enjoying the drawing process a lot. The process is evolving over each painting.

I decided for tomorrow's painting session, I would pre-mix colors on my palette. Really looking forward to it. I'm enjoying the consistency of being in the studio for about 4 hrs on average each day. Also, thinking about you looking at these works in progress also "forces" me to consider more what I am doing. In a really good way.

Making one painting per day is not an easy task. You have to be constantly inspired to be able to draw something out. I really admire your perseverance and determination. I'm also excited in seeing your works in the coming days. I know that you'll be doing your best to paint your heart out. Good luck with this challenge and hope you do well with it, cheers!
