The artist making things. The fear and the love for making.

A peak
I’m some where in this painting around 8%. I normally only show these to my Patreons
.
I have so much to do with this one.
Someone asked me what I was “afraid of “ once and after a decade of contemplating I can say “losing my memory”. It has things it that are just for me; the powerful stuff, the silly and the sad. Each pull me up from my grave and pull me to painting all night long.
I really hope for a ceasefire soon by the by.
Later Galeras,
Jãws
Final
The journey of this painting is over and I’m happy to feel so full from it. The trip taught me so much and I’m better for it.
We are all around us
I finally named this one.
My art often gets made, shown off and then put away with a few hundred other paintings. I’m trying to rediscover my old paintings and tell little stories about them.
This painting is about my Abuelos. They were both car lovers. One worked on cars a it and the other loved driving them. I was thinking about them a lot last year. They both pasted away a long time ago. Their memories lived in my thoughts a lot.
It might be one of my favorite paintings I have done in a while.
Steady making
Constant moving forward with ink and paint and madness.
Doing the wash
Tools, get it?
So as a painter, my big tools are not those but these.
I say over and over again “clean your tools” to myself at myself. I work with ink and paint and to be honest the ink destroys a lot of my brushes but I still love it.
They are my little babies and I should treat them to a pleasant wash from time to time. It’s a charming moment of the looking glass.
Honestly save your good brushes by washing them less but when I do wash them, do it well.
I have an issue of using half a soap each time I wash all my brushes. They seem to enjoy it.
The main point of all of this is that the big step in being a professional painter is wash your brushes but not to much.
Painter out,

Painter’s Breakfast
Hola Galeras,
Hope you are well.
Just a nice show with an idea.
I learn more each time.
I have this way about me that I feed off of my inner voice trying to talk me out of things. It mostly is a passive thing but some times I’m enraged by the self doubt. I cut bits of it away to see the problem and try to find solutions either on paper with paint and ink or writing it out. This painting was fighting me and then I spoke with Alec and it came to me.
The engine is parts, so paint it in parts.
I like how it is going now. I was tempted to destroy it and start something else but I’m stubborn.
Sometimes painting in the dark helps me see ways the light can’t show me.
More to come mi Gente.
Getting back to making abstracts
It feels so weird Galeras to make art and not think about it. It’s a reflection of a meditation I made up for myself.
