Red Trees

After a few month absence from the basement studio, I decided to jump back in with renewed energy. I had a painting sitting around for the past half a year just waiting for me to do something with it. The colors were a bit off and different, but I cant just let a big canvas go to waste. This is named "Red Trees" for lack of a better name and im tired this morning, so creativity this early is not present. Its painted on an 4'x2' canvas with acrylic paint. Im sorry for the glare. I tried taking many pictures but without investing in a better camera/ lights..etc this is what I have to show for it. Also, I should have taken a picture before I varnished the painting(note to self) so it wasn't so shiny. I hope to keep this updated more often and have paintings every week or 2 to add to this blog. Thanks for stopping by.

Time to get back in the studio

For the Past 2 months or so we have been in the midst of showing the house, trying to sell the house and (in my part) trying not to clutter the house. So I have been staying away from my basement studio. The inner art loving self has been eating at my business minded home selling self and I think it has gotten the best of him. While we are still selling the home, and still actively showing the house to potential buyers(if there are any left).. I have gotten back into the studio. I was down there 5 or 6 hours this past weekend working on a painting that I had begun probably 6 months ago. Sometimes its good to stand back for a while and take a different look at things.. be it your art of life in general. This painting I am working on is one I had kept pushing off to the side because of texture issues I had with it. After facing this dilemma and letting it ponder and ferment in my head for 6 months I decided just to tackle it with a fresh mind... and no better time then to do it after a couple month break from the studio.

anyway, I said all this jabber just to let you know that I am almost finished with another painting or two and should have something to post here in another week or so(hopefully I can shot images of it this weekend). Dont run away too far, come back soon.
