This was such an amazing journey for me as it was one of my first "originals". I chose a larger canvas (24 X 24) and used some glazing techniques so there is a bit of a shine on the petals. My inspiration was a picture taken by my girlfriend Sonya Ann (who has inspired me on many paintings). I loved working on this scale of painting as you will see with my next one as well. This hangs in my living room although it is for sale as a giclee (canvas quality copy) for $250.00.
The Journey of a Contemporary Artist
Well since everybody seems to be blogging about everything out there I thought I would blog about what I'm most passionate about...artwork! The pastime that I had chosen a few years ago to "get away from it all" has now become much more important to me. It relaxes me, inspires me and gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment that little else does (well, other than my girls, of course!).
I hope to have a few of you tag along with me on this journey of discovery (of both my artwork as well as this blogging thingy).
Wish me luck!
