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 16

This is painting #7. This Beautiful Bearded Boy. My first attempt to paint a beard didn't turn out so well. (FYI - I didn't post that painting).  Glad this went much better. Constantly learning. Can't wait to go back to the first one and see what I can do with it now. I'm loving this process. I love the idea of sticking with these portraits every day and all month. What a challenge for me. I can't go 30 days without a Dr. Pepper, but I can stick with this. 

Definitely going back to this one tomorrow. I want to go back to the original drawing and double check some things. It's a learning process so constant checking what I'm doing is so important for me. I can tell when I'm getting to the boundaries of how long I can work during the day on the painting. I think four hours is my limit in order to keep some perspective on how it's going.

Still working on taking the breaks throughout the day. 

By the way, I waited all day for the snow and as of right now we're only getting sleet at my house. Needless to say, I did not go out and play in the snow. If we were 30 miles north of here, we would have had it. We're supposed to get snow over the next few hours though. But it's now tooooo cold out there!
