Students, friends and interested parties, be sure to look at my most recent demonstration on dry pastel. Also I you would like to see other demonstrations please go to "older blogs" and you will find a variety of painting demonstrations. I am doing this to help educate my students and also to display to others, my creative process. I will do more if folks would like me to but I would like to get some feedback to urge me on. You can also subscribe to my blog and this will keep you updated.
I am always in the art world in my mind if not in the studio creating. It is all I think about. Color, pattern design, many ideas and approaches. I could easily spend most days working on projects in the studio. It is such a drive, not one that I work at but one that exists for me everyday. I dream about paint and art materials and subject matter.
My latest project is, I am painting 36X36 heads of people who have influence my life in a big way. I really want to get up and personal. Some of the people are difficult to paint because of all the feelings that arise by looking into their eyes. I am hoping eventually to put these works up in a large group on a large wall to be seen as a grid of heads. I draw and paint in grids and I can see the work in a grid. Some people ask where ideas come from. They seem to just arrive, perhaps through other influences but I never seem to have a shortage.
I hope you will enjoy my blog. Please feel free to comment.
