The new painting I have been working on is filled with intricate lines and tiny details. I have been waking up every morning, or for some the darkness of night, trying to stay motivated until it’s completion. I use an apostrophe on the word it to emphasize the personification of this piece. Each painting I create takes on a life of it’s own and becomes part of me, or another way to write this would be…a piece of me, or a look inside the inner workings of my mind. The paintings displayed on my website are all expressions of my visions, thoughts, feelings, and ideas. I am trying to introduce this new piece without giving too much away as to leave space for my Newsletter coming out August first. Signing up for the Newsletter will give each viewer an insight into the painting, detailed descriptions of the thought process behind the piece, and the first view of the painting itself. This blog is just a teaser, if you want to call it that.
The Newsletter will explain where I was when I took the reference photograph, the field sketches that were created on site, and some ideas behind the piece of artwork. I am very excited to receive feedback on this particular painting due to the intricacy and care put into every brush stroke. I am looking forward to hearing or reading about what people see in this painting or how it moves them, because it moves me so. As I write this blog, all I can think about is how much I want to get back to the artwork and production of this special piece. So this is where I will leave the blog for today with a spark of wonder for what is to come. If you would like to be one of the first to see the painting or have the opportunity to purchase it before anyone else, then please sign up for my Newsletter so you can receive an email on August first!
Until then, thank you for reading and have a Marvelous Monday!
