Blue II.

Acrylic paint on paper, A1.

‘Blue II’. You may have realised these paintings have got simpler, this would be because they have. Being back at uni and beginning to create work again has been strange. I feel as though my mind has gone to mush over Easter. Unfortunately, my enjoyment for painting is slowly disappearing. I made this yesterday. This could possibly be the last painting I do for a while, but don’t hold me to that, things could change. Most of the time that I was creating this piece, I was thinking that I’d rather be having a nap or drawing, but I had to get it done, I couldn’t leave it unfinished. The relief was unbelievable when I had completed it. I could probably carry on and do a few more of these paintings, but right now I don’t think I could handle it.

Below are photos of stages to get to the final piece:

Long Time No Work.

Hello, nice to talk to you all again. I am pleased to announce that I have been back in the studios today and a painting has been accomplished. I shall hopefully put up pictures of it tomorrow (do no hold me to that though). I must apologise for having created nothing over the Easter holidays, home life just got in the way, but that is going to change now that I am back at uni (fingers crossed). So as I said before, I achieved some work today, it was a painting in the style of my previous ones. It was strange picking up a brush after what seems like forever. I was a bit rusty and am not totally happy with the result. Half way through creating the piece I came to the decision that I do not want to paint anymore, I want draw… This is a bit of a dilemma because there is only a few weeks left. Maybe it is because I haven’t got back into a routine yet and I will feel differently by the end of the week. We shall see. I should probably leave drawing for another time. It could be something to do over the Summer, a little project I set myself. You may notice that I have had a name change, not a massive one, I only added ‘Art’ to the end, I have done this so people will know that it is about art. I felt before that it sounded more like a business. Anyway, that is it for now. I will try my best to get back into blogging again!
