Day Thirty-nine

When I got home from the studio I didn’t really feel like taking a serious attempt at anything today so I just started painting in acrylics (which I am not very comfortable with) and this is what I came up with. It was very enjoyable after a long day and it really just developed, I never set out with an image in mind. I rearranged my working area, because although the kitchen table has been treating me well over the past few weeks I was dying to work in an area that felt like a studio and not a cluster fluff. SO the basement got completely rearranged and before you go “BASEMENT?” it’s not too bad. I mean the lighting is horrible but I work primarily at night anyway so no matter what it isn’t exactly great. What was nice was busting out some of the old mixes on my old school Ipod (which oddly enough is still alive). There were some good inspirational tunes on there here are just a few. Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Day Thirty-Eight!

After what can only be described as a perfect 3 days away I decided that I really need to work on developing an idea, by allowing more sketching days and brainstorm days. I’m thinking that by jumping to paint or a complete image I’m really limiting the idea to one moment rather than allowing it to develop. For instance the above image I started thinking about yesterday in a sketch and then went to this rough watercolor and I am very interested on pushing this even further. Getting the right depth and  back drop. Anyway, Having a few days to contemplate the idea is such a wonderful experience. Can’t wait until the next escape! By the way, I told you I would be working down there, all the time I was thinking about it too! See you tomorrow!

Day Thirty-Seven

Second day on the cape, sketches throughout the day of bits and pieces…. This day was full of so much inspiration from viewing different artists at loads of galleries in Provincetown and going of a few different walks around the nature preservation in the area. Not to mention the amazing eats at the Portuguese Bakery (a must hit spot on your next trip) as well as the amazing Rum Punch (Corin’s specialty) at Georges Pizza & Pub.
