This canvas was stalled.  At times I felt I was going through the motions.  Painting is like any other job, it has it routines.  And I do not mind following certain proven steps with each canvas,  proven effective procedures, which opens up more time for me to try different ideas.

But what happens is although I enjoy having some standard steps to follow something inside catches that and stops me hard against the wall if I am just applying pretty paint and not understanding just what the canvas is trying to become.   Each of these works demands its own identity, and I am constantly reminded by that when my efforts fall short. Like each of us even a work of art must find its own way.

I am posting two images of this artwork call Eyes for short.  The earlier session shows how much ideas involve as you begin the search to find the comfort in what is being depicted.

I love art and I love music…..if putting these two art forms together is silly and flawed, or just plain brilliant, I am far from confident that either way is correct.  I do know that knowing the answer, would not change the passion, and the driven need to continue this journey one canvas at a time.  You never known what the next song  put down in paint will be unless I do it.
