The second painting

I started this painting last week but got a little side-tracked with finishing that giant wall painting. I worked on it all day today so I could get it to a good place visually before I leave for Europe and i couldn't figure out where to take it next. So, I'll just leave it until I return home.

Finishing the wall painting

It was very much a pleasure to finish the giant wall painting. The title of the painting is "Here I go". That text is actually stenciled in the painting in the lower right corner but it is yellow and hard to see from where the picture was taken. I will post some details of it later. I finished Thursday night around 9:30 after working on it for 9 hours. I first saw this piece as nothing more than a mural in someone's home, but as I worked on it and put my thoughts and feelings into it, it became so much more. I was asked about the possibility of having to paint over the piece if and when the owner moves. Not a problem. It's all about letting go anyway.

1st post...

This is the first official post of my blog. I'm very excited to be coming online in this capacity. I currently have the second painting in this new series in the works. There will be 14 or 15 total when it's finished in late May. There will also be an artist book and a short film to accompany the series. I hope you will take the time to look, contemplate, and make comments. I'm looking to incorporate light into these works but I haven't figured out how to go about it or even why I want to do it. I will be posting my progression. I am going to be in Europe for a week at the end of this month and I will post snippets of my travels there as well. Have a great one!
