New art: Back Rooms of My Mind Door# 10513

In the middle of working on many projects, it's not always easy to finish when they are all in different stages. I went through a good streak where I was completing a lot of drawings and posting one a week. I have stepped back from cranking out the smaller drawings and have shifted to working on some paintings. 

In between paintings and waiting for the paint to dry, I routinely go back my sketch pad. This is where I  allow my mind to go free and conjure up new ideas for future series.

Here is the newest addition to the Back Rooms of My Mind series- Door# 10513
Prints available here.


I was thinking of water coloring this drawing in as I mainly leave them Black & White. If I do decide to work in some watercolor which I feel would really work well with this series, I will post the changes.

Here are some pens I started using for my ink drawings a while back. They are worth buying as they are waterproof and work great!

Update On My New Painting & Happy Mother's Day

Last week I posted about some new art. Not having my computer has made scanning art, posting and updating my on-line archives difficult. The iPod touch has really helped and allowed me to keep posting.......... Things are starting to get weird and I wouldn't have it any other way!

New Artist

I saw some new art this weekend and his paintings really inspired me to create. I don't know too much about the artist but I really love this style and these paintings. I tried searching for the artist and couldn't come up with anything.  Does anyone have any information on this artist?

 

These colors are great so nice and vibrant. They really standout in a crowded room. 

In other news, Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! Thanks for all you've done Mom!

New Painting and Stretching the Boundaries.

Here's an inspiring and interesting quote from the mad man of an artist Andy Warhol.....
“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” ― Andy Warhol

Although, I'm not a big fan of his art, however, I like his mentality, he had a great perspective and his thoughts really resonate with me. 




I had some old canvas laying around from college and decided to create something new. As you an see in the photo, I started with a light Purple wash but decided not to cover up the entire canvas. I feel that this will add more depth to the painting. 



The start of a new painting


I just finished adding a few elements to the painting... What do you think this is going to be? I have a few ideas of what direction I am going to take with this and I am planning on stretching the boundaries a bit. I love starting new paintings like this because it allows me to expand my mind and develop new ideas.
