Thought For the Day

After a brief pause, I ventured back into the studio for another look at this work in progress. I liked it a lot. In fact, I liked it so much that I wanted to add to it, to possibly like it more. Here's the result.

Watching Paint Dry


No, I don't watch while it dries — but I do need to do something. So, I'll often sit at my desk and develop some watercolors from imagination or memory. This is one of several I've been working on, in watercolor and water-soluble wax crayons.

The Other Me

I've always had a special admiration for certain artists who include a sense of mystery in their work. Transparency, moody color, dark rumbling skies — you get the idea.

Long ago, I was told that my paintings were "too depressing" — mostly due to the same qualities I mentioned above. 

Now, I'm becoming able to shift gears ( in this case, oil to acrylic ) and methods. It's likely temporary but I'm having a blast. Enjoy!
