Seeing

leave a comment »

My vision is now corrected and it does not mean that I am up for a masterpiece. Just that I will start to notice things that I’ve not seen in a while.

youngboyTaking a break from large (for me) paintings. I want to master or a least get better at constructing and completing more complicated paintings-but every once in a while it works to begin and finish a small paintings.

A first step on an old painting. I was able to get to this stage of the painting without experiencing anxiousness, something I’ve been feeling for at least the last six or seven months.

Drawing Again

with one comment

My good friend and artist Nancy got me out of the house and over to a drawing/sketch group up in the hills of Cave Creek (Beautiful, near a real creek) and once I started drawing life seemed to make sense (overly dramatic but what heck). I had forgotten how much I love drawing and especially working with a good model.

We spend most of our time looking at peoples faces. I wanted to place this subjects hands on his head but couldn’t fiqure out how to capture this using a mirror. I’ve asked my wife to take a photo of me with my hands on my head so that I can complete the painting. hands-on-head
