Drawings to come
I am taking drawing one (again) this semester to boost my confidence and work on making better compositions. I felt since i haven't taken a drawing course in over 7 years that it wouldn't hurt to taking drawing one again on my path for graphic design. And i want to get into sketching again as i really dont sketch nearly as much as i should. So i am going to start now. I will be posting more drawings and sketches on my blog as well, some will turn into paintings, some will become larger drawings, some won't leave my sketch book. The sketches won't be for sale but some drawings will. I haven't decided yet. Anyway, keep tuned to see some more things from me.

My struggle with art.
Lately i am really struggling in my production of art. I love to create art but am feeling very mediocre. I paint realisticly, but not to the point of awe inspiring photorealism, and i have no desire to become that way. I like the looks of it but i just don't want to do it myself. I also feel i am not free or loose either. I paint very controlled with a very clear image in mind of how it will turn out. I wish to become more free with how my outcomes are. However, in school i was critiqued with my art not ending up looking intentional. I push myself but not hard or far enough.
Those that know me say they like my art, and i have been able to get into little art stores which i am still excited about but my art isn't selling and i am unsure what it is people like/dislike about my art. I am not even sure what i like or don't like about some of my pieces, most of the time i like/dislike the same part of my paintings.
I feel i am lacking in direction and inspiration which i have been dedicating most of this time that i have not been producing much art trying to find my way.
If anyone has any imput as to if my art is priced too high or is lacking something or really have any imput what so ever i would love to hear it. I am simply unsure of where i am going.

yikes.
Wow, it has been a long time since i posted! I have been painting here and there, on two larger works.
Here is the detail of the gnome painting that i was working on this last month. I will get better photos up one of these days, This is truer coloring than the one below.
"Gnome" 24x16" Acrylic on canvas NFS
"Hair" 11x14" Acrylic on canvas NFS
This is a painting commissioned for a hair stylist. It was very frustrating, challenging, and fun to work on.
I have painted two more small paintings i will photograph and post soon. However, I am feeling very uncreative these days. I am having artist block. The other day i wrote in my sketch books all my fears, and aspects of my paintings that make me self conscious which actually helped me. And i have gotten a few more items that will hopefully help me get over some artist block. Will keep everyone posted.

Quick break.
Ok, just stopping in for a quick update on my art, or lack there of. I am moving across town.. which is keeping be quite busy I ended up moving half of my studio the other day and more yesterday and some is still here.... so I won't be painting for a few days. Which is really causing some withdrawals. I am hoping to get every thing moved in the next week so i should be starting back up. Maybe i will make some paintings of the amazing amount of clutter i have collected over the last few years here.

day 148: choices
"Choices" 10x8" Acrylic on acid free matte board $60
This was an emotional painting for me. Often i feel like a garage band artist. I feel like i am in between being alright, and good. I feel like i am lacking something, what that something is i haven't yet discovered. I feel strongly that anything can be interesting, if done correctly anything can be an epic painting. I just haven't found exactly how to accomplish that. There is such a fine line between painting something that is ok, to awesome, to overworked. I was one step from crying for probably 98% of this painting.
Painting one a day is not easy, it is frustrating to push your creative juices every day. Some days i need a break, some days i need to push it. This is also a very fine line. When is it a day to push it? when is it a day to just take a break, take a step back. I am not sure.
In the end i really like this painting. I am not even sure what he is thinking. I have a fear of heights. I have a fear of pushing my paintings one step further. I am working on releasing that fear. I am tired of painting scared. I am more worried about messing things up that i'm scared to make the move to make them epic. In the end i was so frazzled painting this i had to paint my name 3 times as my hands were shaking.
Sigh.
