Shy Birds, Big Ass Painting



I haven't measured, but I think this is somewhere between 3 feet by 4 feet? I don't even know where to put it yet and I'm not sure how to go about framing it because I'm dead broke after Christmas.

My Secret Garden

My Secret Garden
Crappy photo but I don't even care. I just am happy I did such a big painting. My son was in the hospital for 5 weeks and I poured myself in to this painting. Why is it I cannot paint unless I am suffering or very manic because I was jealous over some great art I came across? I did the skateboarder on fire painting, (actually, reworked a crappy painting in to a morphed firey one). I drew complex bird studies and worried myself in to oblivion in those five weeks. But I produced art. Now I'm trying to get myself moving again while the art piles up because I'm too lazy to try to sell it. Lord... I need to get off my ASS.

Very A, in Blue - Canvas

I started working on canvas last summer. It's got the advantage over paper in one way... it doesn't have to be framed and for that reason I love it. The downside is micron pens don't work. Drawing on canvas is always a pain. So far I've found sharpies work best. I'm hoping to find other markers that hold up to canvas and might even play with water and thin out for shading. I keep getting stuck on the letter A. Getting sick of seeing it myself.
