Current Work

I know its been a while but I am back again - trying to get the head directed back to art where it belongs, I have changed jobs which relieved a lot of stress

stopped

hate this its all screwed up on the proportions 

Aggravated with all the white pencils

Frustrated with the whites.  i have tried Chinese white from several brands and even the Luminance which is normally wonderful, but I just can't get the highlight and fine detail bright enough. Trying to get a hold of the colored pencil powdered pigment titanium white, but the only place I can find it has some weird site issue.  So I can't get all my details and shadowing in till I get some sort of better white.  But I like it so far.  I am thinking a pastel chalk brushed background. 

Doing a little work

Finally feel a bit normal again, but I am not totally back to normal from surgery that will come with time.  I am finally able to do a bit of drawing so  I am working on a seashore right now.
However I still have not finished my other stuff. Ehhh we all have a few bad habits!

That's about all I have for now.  Life is getting better, many changes but often change is good!  I look forward to enjoying so new things in my life and more drawing and painting.  As soon as I can hike again to a place with some nice elevation I plan to bring my pencils or maybe my pastel chalks up to the summit of one of these mountains and draw!!

Something worth watching

Watch "The Importance of Art! (What It Is & Why We Need It)" on YouTube

Open Heart Surgery One thing after another

Sorry but I had a bit of an emergancy and have been in the hospital for open heart surgery, I am just really starting to use the computer again - I honestly have not tried to draw or paint or anything, just trying to get back to normal, somethings I do with my arms really hurt my chest right now so I am really hoping this is not now a normal thing - cause I need to be able to draw and paint!!

More Work and craziness going on

 

Well crazy crazy stuff going on but I am starting to draw and create again, so that is very very good.

Moving yup again old run down city apartment but it has studio space!!!!  Costs a bit more but does not have all the weird issues this place does and I will not have to paint on my bed because there is no space and if I don't finish I will be able to leave what I am working out.

And by the way elephants are really hard to draw - I have never done one before - not loving it and I don't want to ever do one again!  LOL But I will finish!!

I have lots of work to finish - I just have not been motivated it was like I wanted to draw but nothing came out of my hands but I think that is over now!

Thinking of doing a Patreon?  What do you think?  Time to go to work.  Have a happy day and remember every thing that you see IS art!!
