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.”

The dimples on this boy. Too much! Each day seems to have it's own challenges. Today was the thought that I really didn't like yesterday's painting so that was weighing on my mind. Fun fact: in the reference photo he is wearing a green the color of Christmas. I obviously changed that here. Something about this blue just makes me happy. Each day is not about an exact likeness of my subject but to capture their essence. These dimples, that smile, and his beautiful squinty eyes just does it for me. 

And it was only last night that I told a friend of mine I would not paint teeth. Guess I was wrong.

The color you painted the shirt is the color of his favorite shirt!
