facing fear

so i faced it
and made a place to hang these up
on the same wall
as horizontals not verticals
so that i could see them through fresh eyes
i think my suspicions were correct
i don't think these are finished paintings
i still have to "bring them home"

pea poem

trying something new
as with all beginnings
it's a bit rough around the edges
i know what the problems with it are
(a little too labored, not enough flow, a bit too literal)
but i have to start somewhere...

rethinking old systems

there is a certain amount of fear
and a certain amount of faith
required to counteract that

drawing

meta-morph

for the past month
my focus has been decidedly virtual
basically my only physical study activity has been my daily watercolors
this is the project that i have been working on

daily bread		animus

01.15.10

somehow not what i expected
somehow not the "perfect" day
somehow not the day i want to base the next year on
except
i can accept that
and
i can accept the profound feeling of "other"
and so i suppose
in some way
it was
with all its disappointments
"perfect"

turnip

truth be told
i haven't painted in oil for quite a while
watercolor has seemed more integral lately

palindrome day

another look at the new year's resolution...

things got a little messy today
being true to oneself
helps one through those times

this again

saw a shift today
small
shift
love that

thanksgiving

working at the window of my brother's house
brings me back to those days
painting on the beach
meditating on the horizon line
getting lost in the hugeness of the sea and the sky
trying to capture the vastness
while getting seduced by the infinite movement of the waves
there is a sense of pure well being
connected with this
and there is much to be thankful for

source material

yeah, i'm just a little psyched
got tickets to this & this today

bone

and
after about 3 months
of drawing myself for life(s) lessons
i've taken a break from that as well
i got tired of focusing
on how lopsided my face is
