Inspiration

I am so excited because I feel like I am reclaiming how I like to draw and paint.  Lots of gesture.  I have always loved doing gestures of the human figure as well as gesture in my paintings but for some reason I have gotten away from doing this.  I am back and it feels so freeing. Enjoy this fun little drawing-can you guess what it is/was!!!!???

What is this?? I am not really sure but it seems whimsical to me.  I am thinking of doing a painting from this drawing.  The hard part is keeping the same or similar essence of the drawing but that being said I have to try!

My favorite still life never lets me down as I get lost in the drawing process.  I am always amazed at what shows up on the paper which is what I love to do.  I have always loved surprises and creating art is a constant surprise for me.

Earth flower!

I love the energy in this little drawing.  It is so much fun to let go and let the drawing do the talking.  I am inspired and am having fun just doing the work.  Such a simple idea-one has to do the work or it doesn't happen.

The latest in the fig series although this is really a lime resurrected as a fig.  A painting that has been hanging on the studio wall but wasn't really complete until it became a little organger!!! and a little figgery!  Okay I know these are not real words but they go with the painting! so enjoy this latest creation.

I believe this painting is done.  I am happy with the gesture and the movement.  It is hanging in a spot in the house where I can see it regularly and decide how I really feel about it but I think it is very very close to being done.  Yeah.  Feels good to have kept the essence of the painting while allowing it to transform itself!

Hum!  What to do what to do.  Maybe nothing for right  now.  Starting at the top these are the  transitions that this fig has made.  I have tired not to make too drastic a change but slowly the painting has evolved.  As I look back at the initial fig I think I need to get some of what is in the first painting back.  There is lots of good stuff in each of them so I am going to let it rest and see where my gut takes me when I am next back in the studio.
