Dear painters, art aficionados, and art explorers everywhere. I would never have guessed this journal would keep my interest for so long! Join me as I learn about the processes of painting, drawing and at times, the history of art.

This is very true! Sigh ... and today, I am not goofing off, am
moving boxes getting ready for some remodeling ... and my
studio/laundry room is packed with stuff that I have to joggle
around before there is room to paint again.

While waiting on an order of 8 x 8 canvases, which should be in my hands soon - thought I'd do a sketch of one of my photos and possibly do a painting. This particular photo was actually a reflection caught while waiting at the Austin, TX airport. I turned the photo upsidedown to sketch. 
It brings to mind Mondrian.

Here is the link to a photo of the original painting. This was fun!

Here is the beginning of my second "zoom-in" painting.
It is a cropped portion of the painting

Can you guess?

Zoom In #1


My idea to "just keep painting" (that I hear in my head every day) is to zoom in 
on a famous painting and paint that little section of it. 
Many people will most likely realize who the famous painter was/is, 
but it will be a fun and interesting challenge for all involved!
