Revisited, Reinventing, Refreshed

Painting what you love is the artists job. To take the activities and places that move you, and capture them in paint is what it is all about. Whether it is color combination’s you want to experiment with, or new techniques you are excited to try, this is where it is at for the creative mind. It does not matter if you are an abstract painter or a representational artist of some sort, get excited.

My life has morphed into one big painting. I love to examine the day to day and edit this for the canvas. Lately I have been revisiting a favorite subject from my past. There is a fresh renewed interest in my minds eye for… the interior, not just any interior, no, for the PUB.

I have done a lot of research in this area, which I will dutifully continue, because it’s my job. Seeking out the small intimate gatherings of the locals is the first step. Framing my subject and capturing the the spirit of a place while I am there is important, so that when I am back in my studio painting, even if it is months later, or years, I can hear that rooms echo. Feel that days vibe. Smell the party.
