53738 starting point

The start of a painting is the hardest. The blank is all your fears and self doubt. I’ve been doing this a long time and I still get nervous. I try to get in front of the fear. Never let it get behind you.

the world just needs more color. It feels more like it wants to vibrate when it’s vivid. Heartbeats sound better in yellow, blue and red.

The mix of living and painting.

I wish I had an answer to the young artists on how to exist in the creative process. You vanish kiddos. The parts of you get left in the most beautiful paintings and the light of that shines past you. No one is better then the work they make and no one is worse. It all just life.

Black and white 22

The road is endless and yet there are no stones. No pebbles to be lost in shoes. The socks are patched and the boots are cobbled. Rest and be the rain.

What’s in the bag?

I’ve seen so many of these as the years go by. I never imagined they would be fun with my art bags. I put things everywhere in my studio. It is a living animal. The parts are the fingers and the toes.

6 of 30 last 3 days

Time to take chances with these shots. No one ever grew a tree under blankets. Gotta get up and go forward.

The new painting

Outside of the 6 of 30 project, I’m still paintings everything.

6 of 30

With time comes experience. Knowledge is not guaranteed. The stars don’t know they are stars, they just are. As far as we know that is. The question is will 6 of 30 teach me something when this all ends in 2019? All I have is hope and my camera.

6 of 30

The project is turning my brain around after 3 days. I’m seeing shots I could take in my daydreams. I guess I might make a book or add these to my next art book. Either way I think I’m enjoying the conversion of my imagination and the concept of the 6 of 30. Hope you have a happy New Year. Feliz Natal!

Always making

The patterns re the ocean and the texture the land. The paint is the sky.
