I'm a little behind though. Both my drawings should be done and I should be painting by now. Not that I can't finish it in time, I usually finish things last minute, but I want to take my time and try to make a masterful piece for once.
One of my goals this year is to produce and finish more (personal/show) work. I've been struggling with finishing my work. I am really focused on drawing. The bane of my existence is to draw, my ultimate passion. When I start painting, I lose a lot of interest. As I begin to work on it, I see all the mistakes I made and how I can make a better drawing. I stop painting and I start another drawing. I've now ended up with so many half finished paintings, I'm beside myself.
I've always had a preference for drawing over painting. I believe this is why I started out with computer coloring. The drawings were still in tact, and the color only added to it. The oil paintings I've been doing, have added certain aspects, but the drawing does not hold focus. Maybe the whole problem is that I'm trying to finish a drawing by painting it an still expecting it to be a drawing. I need to experiment a lot more with painting and how I finish the work. It feels awkward right now. I have a lot of ideas.
Well art is about problem solving and I have quite a problem to solve.
If only I could go to grad school and get my Masters in painting or drawing. It isn't really possible right now though.
Just keep working.
The online store isn't up yet. I haven't worked on it much. I'm overloaded with commissions, upcoming shows, the sick urge to do my own additional work on top of it, and various things I can't mention.
Expect more work soon. Take care.
