Nothing too much to look at right now. Just put the first layer of paint on, so there's a long way to go. But here's a glimpse of what's in the works (plus a distant view of the other large one by the door). All abstracts for now. In realist work it's largely about seeing with your eyes and translating that into the painting or drawing, but what I'm working on here is a whole different kind of seeing -- the kind I've longed to learn but which is rarely taught (only once in my years of classwork did I have a teacher/class that approached this both methodically and successfully, taught by artist Patrick Holderfield). So that's what I'm working on. Practicing, really (it's all about the process, right?). That's my single goal.
