In this weeks episode; the kids started rendering the shadows in the background. They understand the process of layering and are not in any hurry to see the end result. I do wish that I had more space to paint. The surface area is too small for 5 or more kids. I find it a [...]
Im not in a rush for this one… This is the only canvas that I’m working on right now. I think I will start on another project over the weekend. I need to spread the projects around so I don’t get too caught up with one canvas. The lady is almost done and the flowers [...]
I had to delegate responsibility to my kids. This is Bob and he’s the paint mixer. He took a crash course in color theory and found out real quick what a warm and cold color was. He was mixing color for the tree trunks and for an hour he took the job seriously. Most of [...]
Around the Beginning of March I was contacted by Zac Cochran, a board member to the Kennesaw Skate park foundation. The foundation is a non-profit group working to raise funds to build a skate park in Atlanta, GA. One of the fundraisers is an annual art show/auction. From what I’ve gathered the line-up has some [...]
We got it started!!!! We will start painting tomorrow which was a surprise to me. We finished the sketching yesterday and that means tomorrow is for painting. I hope the kids bring extra paint clothes. I was surprised at a couple of my students who really got into this first phase. I say that because [...]
I was over at the Mint club doing a live painting. It was a chill night. The DJ played an hour worth of music within 2 minutes. My creative spark wasn’t jumping at it’s fullest but it was balanced by the canvas I was working on at home. I’m gonna have to work on some [...]
I found out that I will be having a solo show in Oregon. This will take place in Eugene at the Fenario Gallery. Opening night will be on the 5th. I’m excited as it’s been awhile since I’ve produced art in that town and I really haven’t maintained contact with all the people that i should [...]
I’m stil trying to figure out what this means. It feels that one forgets the present and finds escape in the state of forgetfulness. This sounds like a debate that I have with myself everyday. When I want to forget; when I don’t want to choose; When I want everything to go my way; I [...]
This is it. After the past couple of weeks, something has come from the minds of these kids. The power is in the sun and the moon is not complete unless there is light. The people shall rise from the earth. The people shall rise from the concrete jungle. There are obstacles. They are there [...]
For the past couple of years I have been working on a geometric style. The style has been mostly used for portraits and figure drawing. My friend James has been pushing me to do a landscape painting incorporating the geometric style. I should have been listening to him way early on. I started this painting [...]
