Someday I Will Actually Finish A Painting

I started the above painting about a week ago and finally had a little time last night to work on it. It would be nice to finish it before the new year. However, painting has been fighting a lot with my reading time, so we'll see what happens. In an effort to paint more I actually brought a painting to the gallery to work on. I've tried this before and I end up getting distracted too much, but I'm willing to try it again. Here's the one I started yesterday in the gallery.




Just the background for now. I might end up making this a horizontal painting as opposed to vertical. Oh, the details...sorry to bore you.

In other news. I have A LOT of projects in the works. Stay tuned!

Oh, The Potential

Messing Around In The Gallery

Here are a couple "in progress" photos of something I'm working on today. Hopefully, I can finish before closing time.








Stay tuned for the completed painting. And enjoy your Friday!

Computer Addiction

I'll have a few paintings in a show at Alpha Cult in Long Beach, CA next week. I have these two pieces I need to finish tonight, but I'm so addicted to playing on the computer that I'm putting off "work" in exchange for updating the blog for all of my millions of readers. Yes, millions! Also, it's a lot easier to make an unfinished painting than it is to make a finished one. Go ahead, ask anybody. Actually, look no further. I'll prove it to you right here and now. Below are the two things I'm working on and it would be much easier to stop now and go lay in bed and read for an hour instead of finishing them.

Ok, the second one pictured is actually very close to being finished. So close, in fact, that I probably could just stop now and nobody except me would know that it's unfinished. Here it is in its current state.

Well, the show must go on, so I will disconnect the computer from the vein in my forearm and get back to "work".

Sweet dreams.
