"Heart of the Matter" show
My neighbor is putting together an art show at the Create Here office during the month of February. It has a heart theme, and rather than come up with something witty, or a twist on some heart phrase, I thought I'd twist the actual heart shape.
I've felt out of practice. Blocked, if you will. And so although I do like this piece, I feel it reflects some clumsiness. The delicate clumsiness of trying something new. Of using new materials. Of a new season.
This doodle came out kinda pretty. I wanted it to look like a back lot. Somwhere urban but overgrown. Like much of my surroundings these days. The watercolors lead the lines. Defining with ink is so satisfying. Ok, I must go to bed.

I LOVE the Bird of Hearts! It's perfect:) I have a feeling, if I make any money churning out the children's books I'm starting drafts for, I will spend all the extra money on friend's art I've been lusting after.

taking a break is nice but it seriously lends itself to a disconnect between the brain and hand. i understand. but i really like how the bird of hearts piece turned out, seeing it now i know you've probably bridged the disconnect. and urban decay must be so fun to paint. see you tomorrow night.
