representational

White and sanguine conte pencils on toned paper. These ruins captured my drawing itch with the quality of the light filtering brilliantly through the tangled growth outside, and the open shade within. At a metaphorical level, the image is about the sense of having a laborious path set in stone for me by custom, convention, and culture, while way is wide open to the chaotic fertility of nature, should I choose to follow my own feet and heart.

Acrylic on canvas. 50cm x 70cm. This started as a purely experimental abstract piece, but evolved to include both abstract and surreal (i.e. representational) elements.

I can't seem to do anything representational right now. I'm doing these weird "pen paintings" in the evening before bed. One painting takes me about a week. They are very relaxing just putting the color on the paper is therapeutic.

I want to be inside the raindrop. I want know it. Feel it. Be it. Close containment. Single purpose One direction.  The rush. The thrill. Careening towards the earth. Would be a death race. But the fall is the journey. The crash. The release. Is just the beginning.

This drawing is representational of going outside of my artistic comfort zone. I'm having fun trying new things in the art realm.

This is a drawing of a particular actor. It is not very representational so you probably will not be able to guess who it is, but I like the way he turned out anyway.
