Drawing

February already…

More than a week into February and I am still playing catch-up from January. And December. Perhaps I need to lower my expectations. Or not… Yes, I could live a little more realistically, but then where’s the fun in that. Sure I would sleep more and probably drink less (caffeine and alcohol…) but what a dull life that would be. Perhaps by spring I will be back into a routine and will be painting more. For right now I am still putting together all of my old artwork and fitting everything in as best as I can. So here are my January Lemons and an old drawing from way back in time.

In the spirit of tracing some sort of development of skill, I am adding a few more paintings and a couple of more finished drawings from the last couple of weeks. I am getting very frustrated with my acrylics and debating about switching to oils. I am going to try to hold off though and work through the problems. 19 Jun 2013 Black Ribbon 20 Jun 2013 Fast Oranges 20 Jun 2013 Smooth Oranges 25 Jun 2013 Monkey 27 Jun 2013 Single Pear

Artwork from this week.

I didn’t spend much time creating finished art this week sadly. Somehow it just didn’t really happen. This is what I did come up with though. I found I let the plastic bag intimidate me for some reason instead of just focusing on lights and darks and tonal variations. I will have to come back to this subject again.
