Where oh Where?

There are new artworks to see. I have taken the photographs. I have done the scanning. There is new work and they have been documented.

There is the extra step in between the documenting and the posting that I seem to have the most difficulty with. I just cant seem to get this task up to the top of the list. Other things have been taking priority.

Hopefully, you are still watching and keeping the eye balls peeled on this blog, because there WILL eventually be new artworks to view.

I will tease you with some clues.

* Pop Plants cont ...
* Inspiration Chinese Symbolism.
* Tartan
* Pine Trees are cool. As is Holly.
* Triptych
* Maybe an Aceo or two or 14.

Random Thoughts

I am in a wierd spot at the moment as I feel very detached from it all. Its a blur, and I can barely focus. I have done so many things in the last 8 months that its like I have no relationship to the things I have created. I am floating in a haze of production. I just plug away at it day in and day out and dont really think about what im doing. I really miss thinking about what im doing. That was always part of the joy. Thinking, planning, executing, in that order. The execution took the least amount of time generally, so you can see why I would be missing the other two parts. Now I give about 2.5 seconds of thinking and planning and just attack a canvas or a piece of paper. Its certainly given me skills I wouldnt have gained any other way, but I think I need some perspective now.

Wierd the things that happen to you when you enter into any kind of challenge.

Discombobulated

If you were looking at this blog and noticed the disjointed nature of the posts, you are not going crazy. This is the nature of my mind of late. Posts are coming as I have time to edit my images, and unfortunately I am scatter brained enough not to edit my creations in order.

This is what happens to your brain after 8 months of one-a-day artworks. Its an unfortunate side effect.

Reminder also that the posts are backdated. Older works will appear on the blog in order of production.

Paintings / July 2-5

I am trying out a few different techniques. Mainly creating texture just by collaging some paper on the canvas board. I am also continueing the "back to basics" idea by just creating the drawing alone, and not painting anything further.

Big and Small

I just got back from a small vacation, and let me say that it gave me time to think! I have so many ideas, some big and some very very small. ;]

I have a list as long as my arm with all the subjects I want to tackle. I have made the decision though to keep all of June's pieces a secret. This means that there wont me many very new things in the blog to look at for a little while. Except for the rest of May's pieces, which I still have to upload, sheesh.

Things to ponder.
- The ocean is amazing.
- Sun burns are not fun.
- A cloud had about a million colours in it.
- Accessories, accessories, accessories.
- Summer should be filled with music.

Paintings / May 25 - 31

I was actually inspired by the Fruits and Passions catalogue, and the amazing design work that went into it. The colour combinations were stunning.

An FYI

Someone may, or may not, have noticed this but I have been pre-dating my posts. I have been doing this for a couple of reasons.

1. To keep all of my work in order, in the time they were produced. Some works I haven't posted right away because I want to devote a little more time to them, or I might have an after thought I want to implement.
2. I am just plain lazy about posting the pieces as I complete them. Sometimes it takes me a week (maybe 2) before I post a completed week.

So, there is a good excuse to scroll down in this blog and check back to make sure you haven't missed some new pieces. The new posts might not be at the top of the blog.

Its tricky I know.

Paintings / May 4 - 10

More faces. Inspired by the work of Mucha.
The last piece is a self portrait with Mucha style hair. :)

$25.00 each.
Self Portrait is not for sale.

Paintings / Apr 27 - May 3

I decided to try coming at this project from a 180 degree angle. I am calling these "Essentials", as I am going back to basics and painting only the most essential elements. The drawings are still done with my raised paint technique and so have that textural quality I enjoy so much. Its too bad the paint strokes dont show in the scans, as I did actually paint in the white background.

-Optimism

-Curiosity

-Pessimism

-Desire *SOLD*

-Sympathy

-Contentment

-Frustration
