Impressions

I spose I'll lump the most recent two in with the rest that I did the other week...while i love painting a big canvas, sometimes these drawings are just therapeutic. You get to relax, know that the surface didn't cost half the asking price, know that it doesn't matter if you roll it up and throw it away...and that really opens you up to just making marks without thinking, without really working a piece, without questions about an idea. Compared to the other work, it's like just doing the highlights of the piece...the best parts. You lose the stress, the worry, the time, the build, the preconception, and the aspiration and you just put something down. I think that's the first step in becoming your own artist.
