Jeep gets in the way of art.


Looks like I picked the wrong month to challenge myself artistically. I didn’t even make it through the first week of the "drawing a day for a month challenge"! It’s a good thing no one really reads my blog! Haha...My first excuse is that a piece of the exhaust system fell off my jeep and hit the drive shaft on the turnpike. Yea that was a good one, it sounded like the engine blew up. That killed a day to repair then a few days later it was overheating.... that took a weekend to repair. Looks like I’m still going to have to change the radiator and possibly a leaky freeze out plug.... so that wipes out next weekend. Sometimes it’s a good thing when you know how to fix stuff and sometimes it’s a curse. Sure I save money on costly repairs but sometimes it would be nice to get some one else to do the dirty work. I guess that’s just not in my nature. I like taking care of my own things. And so it goes once again life “or in this case my jeep” gets in the way of art.

One drawing a day for a month #1 of 30


Drawing #1 of 30
self portrait

Brushing up on my drawing ?


The more I paint the more I’ve come to realize that my drawing skills or lack of them ...are slowing me down. It seems like I’m always correcting some sort of drawing error in my paintings and it’s starting to irk me a little, so I think I’m going to take it back to square one for a bit and brush up on my drawing skills. I figure one drawing a day for a month is a realistic goal to starters. So I'll post the good the bad and the ugly. As long as I keep drawing I should get something out of it.

WANT PEACE, OIL ON CANVAS


When I saw this picture I related to it immediately. Peace is something I always ask for but seldom ever get. Its not finished yet but hopefully one day I’ll have the peace of mind to call it finished.

THE FEAST, OIL ON CANVAS

MARRY ME, OIL ON CANVAS
