Digging a Little Deeper

With our current worldwide situation, I have been doing my best to ignore the outside world, or to limit my consumption of it to only positive, creative and educational information. So I'm taken this time to focus on trying to narrow the focus of my voice as an artist. 

I have been watching videos and listening to podcasts of other artists to help me better figure out who I am on the inside in an attempt to bring that out. My current favorites are the Art Juice Podcast with Louise Fletcher and Alice Sheridan, and the Art2Life youtube channel with Nicholas Wilton. I like their content because, in my opinion, the information they share can be applied to any medium. I particularly like Louise's advice to follow what makes you feel good when making art. That what you enjoy will ultimately guide you to what you are meant to create.

All of these artists happen to be painters, and so I eventually was inspired to pick up a paintbrush and start working. This painting started as a seascape at sunset but somewhere along the way my sun became a moon. I'm happy with the way it turned out and plan to continue painting in addition to my stitching, hoping that one will make the other better I guess. 

So long for now.
