I believe art is a journey, an exploration of ourselves and the world that we experience. It’s a way to express ourselves and discover ourselves at the same time. Lately I am fascinated with the idea of combining that which I experience in the real world with that which I imagine my feelings to look like in order to share my feelings about certain things with others. I hope that you can see through this painting that I have a passion for native cultures and the beauty of dance and rhythm. In fact it’s actually an expression of my passion for life in general. Every day feels like a dance to me, a celebration of color and light.
Here’s one that I finished just before Christmas. It’s a prismacolor. I haven’t thought of title yet. I have to figure out what her story is first. If any of you readers out there have any ideas, I’m open to suggestions.
Well I finished another one today. Actually, I should mention that I’ve been working on this one for quite awhile. I started weeks ago and didn’t like how it was coming out at all so I totally redid the background today and now I love it. The forest seemed like the perfect setting for this young man.
I’ve been doing a lot of paintings lately of people who are searching for something. I’ve also noticed that I always seem to do a solitary figure in my paintings. I wonder what it is about that theme that fascinates me. A friend once suggested to me that an artist puts something of herself into every painting she does. Maybe that’s what I’m doing. Anyway, here is my painting. I’m going to call it Vision Quest.
It’s been a few days since my last blog entry so I guess I had better write something. The problem is, I can’t think of anything to write about. Sometimes there’s just not much going on you know?
I am working on a new painting. It’s kind of a fantasy/western thing. Whatever that means. I’m liking it so far so we’ll see how it turns out. I know, I’ll post a picture of it where it’s at now just so you can see what I mean. It might not turn out good at all but I might as well show you what I’m doing. I don’t have my camera with me right now so in a few hours I’ll make another post that has the photo of the painting.
Here’s the first painting I’ve finished of the little birdies I took pictures of. Well actually I did another one but I don’t like the way it turned out so you don’t get to see it. I know, maybe I’ll burn it and make another burn bad art video! That was fun. Anyway I think I”ll call this one Among the Leaves.
I am fascinated by the natural world around me and the people who live in it. Nature is art, and I love to try and capture the beauty that resonates through it. Everything and everyone has a story to tell. Everything and everyone around us is full of emotion and life and has had experiences that we can’t even imagine.
