Coming along

Sat Jan 3, 2009, 8:31 PM
Well, I am starting 2009 off with some finished paintings under my belt (finally). Three of which made it into a current show at CPop Gallery here in Detroit. I am gearing up to apply to grad school and am super excited to work with a painting proff whose work I really love this term. I also have about 5 paintings that could be done if I just sit my ass down and wrap up all those little details. I am getting better at not being so obsessive and actually embracing some negative space. I have a good feeling about 2009 and actually hope I can pull some amazing work out of this mess of a mind I have.

Hello there and happy new year!
I hope things go well with the grad school application.
Im going the opposite way in my next painting as opposed to negative space as sometimes I feel I leave too much, although I do love negative space I seem to be missing filling the canvas so to speak at times, I guess when you work any way so long you feel the compulsion to change things up a little as such. After all this is what keeps us progressing as artists and always striving for perfection.
Congrats on getting your work into the Cpop gallery also.
Good to hear you've been keeping well :)

It is funny that we have opposite negative space issues. It will be funny to see if we ever meet in the middle!

You can never have too much detail!

LOL yeah, I still like the use of negative space I just think sometimes myself I need to create a little more shape and angle compositionally sometimes.
