Ok, painting water is really hard, but fun. The problem is, its completly abstract and yet entirely recognizable. It is an insane jumble of color on top of a reflective form, but it all makes sense. I can't really paint abstractly, I think I'm too self concious, but this is pretty close. This is the first painting in a series that I'm going to do where nature makes its own abstract painting.
This is a visual diary of paintings, inspired by Stephen Magsigs great "Postcards From Detroit", I'm primarily an artist that works in three dimensions, but with this blog I'm trying to just concentrate on the two, although sometimes when I can't take it any more I'll post some of my "constructions". I work from life and from photographs, some photos that are found or discarded, are given a new life and reinterpreted.
