Yeah it's been awhile. I've been painting and working. Feels like I'm perpetually inspired. Mostly by other artists, they do the same thing I do and yet have completely different results. Entered a local art show and walked the aisles of the wide range and variety of work and wondered in amazement how each piece differed from the next. And lately I've been truly thinking about where my place is within the art realm. What is it I want to do? To say? Where do I want to go with it?

LOTS of questions. But I'm ok with that, I need to just paint. To work. And let the work speak for itself. "It's enough that it is."

Just a few things that have been inspiring me lately. Colors, textures, and surroundings.

Park days and the last bits of a fading summer. Still feeling it's warmth but change is in the air.

Photo Overload

Here's somewhat of a photo diary of my last few weeks! Sorry I've been so m.i.a.!
