FIRST EVER BLOG

For some time now I have been told....YOU SHOULD BLOG! I have resisted because we all have plenty of things that take our time up...why add more? Well I have finally succumbed to the craze and I will tell you why: I finally feel like I have a reason to blog. What began as a simple goal to paint more from life has turned into a full-on project which I have dubbed my "FACEs Project". I have people sit for 90 minutes to 2 hours tops for quick, energetic portraits and then have them hold the painting in place of their face for a quirky photo. These are all done on 12x12 inch surfaces. This entire exercise has taken on a life of its own and I am having a BLAST! Not only do I get life experience with my art but I also get to visit with people in what is otherwise a very lonely job. And my models tell me what fun it is to have their portrait done. The wins just keep on coming! I have even begun to form a BIG, HUGE AMBITIOUS GOAL in relation to this project that I will spend the next year training, planning and preparing for. More later on that....
