Hi friends. I did some traveling to Ocean City and Chicago for a while so sadly, I didn't do much drawing. There was too much fun and food to be had. But back at it.
Progress made on this oil painting. It's an 18 x 24 canvass, which is a a pretty standard size cheap canvass, but I really am happy with how it's progressing. I apologize for the poor quality of photos on some of my posts. It's hard to photograph art, especially when the paint is still wet. I have a whole setup I can do to take better photos but it takes a lot of time to set up and it takes up too much space to leave out all the time.
I've also been watching LOTS of TV shows while painting. If you have suggestions on shows I can watch that I don't REALLY have to pay attention to, please pass them along (example: 30 Rock, The Office, Archer, etc. Comedies are obviously a trend since they don't usually have very deep plots to follow).
Additionally while in Chicago, my good friend Helen and I happened across an artist selling his work. He had written "Art Sale!" with arrows on the sidewalks in chalk, so of course we went!
Turned out to not only be an incredibly friendly guy but very talented in my opinion. I bought 3 of his paintings, these are 2 x 2 blocks with canvass. All acrylic. I love the texture and colors. I don't usually go in for "abstract" stuff, at least not what i would want to buy, but I couldn't walk away from these.
He told me I could find him on facebook as Paul Lou the Poet. I don't know if I wrote it down wrong but I can't actually find him! Where are you Paul?! If you happen to find my blog, please contact me so I can give you due credit! :)
