Style

This semester has been all about developing a personal style with my art. Or more specifically, learning about myself and what I want to say with my art and how I want to say it. I landed on a figurative style I was interested in a few months ago, and I feel like there's a lot of exploration I can do with it. I'm loving my recent figure studies.

On the painting side of things, developing a body of work is quite an undertaking. What do I want to say with my artwork? It's a very big question that will take a lot of time and reflection to answer (in fact it's a question that may never really get an answer). I'm getting there slowly but surely. Our recent painting assignments have been serial. This was my first 2 part series. I'm not too interested in continuing this particular series, but I feel like it was a necessary step for me.

This thing is pretty big, about 1' x 4'

I think I may start using a journal again, for random thoughts and ideas. I've neglected sketching and writing for a few years now, but I feel like at this point, scribbling might be incredibly valuable. Stay creative.
