Everything is on hold

My family and I are in shock over what happened at our very own church yesterday morning. All WIP's are on hold. I will follow up soon.

Day 4 WIP

Okay, let's be honest. I have NO IDEA where this painting is going! :P

Day 3 of WIP

It is starting to resemble an old painting of mine...don't ya think? Still feel this one is changing and don't think it is even close to finished.

Evolution of my new large painting, Work in progress

First I begin with laying the linework in harsh box like patterns trying to determing where this painting will take me.

Next I begin a bit of softening those box shape patterns and working out not only my palette but the color scheme.



I then work on the "flow" of the painting and try to focus on the "forms" within the painting.


Next I begin to "paint out" portions and forms and now am beginning to think it is missing something huge.

P.S. When I asked my 5 year old what he thought it was missing, his response was, "I think you should paint a picture of Tony Hawk right in the middle." Now that is something huge! Stay tuned for more! Meg

I CHANGED MY MIND!

Two very different works somehow evoke a sense of similarity to me

Until I flipped through my portfolio folder saved under "My Pictures" today, I had never noticed this before.

I kind of see something here...a similarity...sense of unity, or something. Two different mediums, two different surfaces. Very different styles and technique. So what is it? I cannot explain it.

Do you see it?

Feeling blue? Just a little...
