Making Art Again...

7/22/2020

 
It's funny.  All the while you have a career and are working everyday, your say to yourself " I can't wait to retire so I can paint all day".  Well, I've been in Florida almost a year and I've been blocked.  Blocked!  I don't know what to paint, and a blank canvas scares the crap out of me.  I have no problem making sample paintings for classes I'll teach, but I'm conflicted with my original work.  I think it's all part of the process of retiring and moving.  My identity and purpose has changed dramatically, and it will take a while to find my new self.  So, in order to be accountable to myself, I plan to paint or draw multiple times per week and post it online.

I have to say I had fun creating these little wood slices.  I started with the mini campers and branched out from there. 
​Currently I have them for sale at the Venice Island Art Gallery.

I painted this Tuscany field today.  I followed along with artist Will Kemp to try and loosen up my brushstrokes.  I want to loosen up and be more expressive with my art.  I want to have fun with painting again and not get bogged down with perfectionism.
