Drawing

6/20/2013

 
I'm trying to draw more consistently.  Daily if possible, but with everything else to be done it doesn't always happen.  Here is the drawing I made for today.

In the Beginning

6/15/2013

 
While going through some of my old pictures I found some childhood art.  It made me wonder if we really change that much.  Spin art and Light Bright - bright bold color.  Drawings of ladies in pretty dresses - fashion.  And of course flowers.  Maybe the journey is more about depth and refinement, not change.

Evolution of a Painting

3/24/2013

 
I've started a new painting and thought I'd share some of the progress with you.

The studio is all set up and ready to go this morning. I have the basic painting started.

This where I started today.
A number of hours later, I'm done for the day.

That's all there is for now.  I need to live with it for a little while to see what it has to say.  Does it need more work?  What and where? 

It felt good to spend time painting again.  I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Water...an update

9/16/2012

 
In August I said that I was going to start studying water.  I've been working at it and have made some progress, but there's still a lot of experimenting happening.  There's a long way to go.  Here some sketches and studies I've done.

Water

8/13/2012

 
I had some time off work and decided to try my hand at painting water. My first attempt however was far from successful. I ended up with a series of colors with no form. I realized how challenging water really is. To see the whole and the details at the same time. It's transparent and reflective. Fluid and dense. Constantly in motion with broken patterns. Water will take a lot more study.

I've dug up every spare canvas I could find to start making studies and sketches. Visiting creeks, streams and lakes to watch the water and hopefully learn to understand what I see. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Here are some recent photos I've taken (of water).
