Starting the new year with a clean slate. Looking back at the past year in art I found little in the work that really expressed the things I wanted to say. People make art for different reasons. I have always been issue driven, emotive and immediate with my tools. Trying to simultaneously convey the head and heart chatter of the moment, through color, gesture, scribbles and words. To my way of working and thinking; The more aesthetically conformed the work, the less truth it contains. So my desire and intention going into this new year is to stop thinking in terms of desire and intention. Stop trying to “fit in” so to speak. Be a better more honest painter. Not sure such a thing exists anymore, but giving it a go all the same…. Sending out the good vibes to everyone for a healthy and blessed new year. So much work to be done. ❤️❤️❤️ #honestart #newyear #paintergrrl This piece finished: Leap of Faith: Giants. 48x48 mixed media. #abstractpainter #markmaking #cincinnatiartist #contemporaryart #headshot #poetryinmotion #truedetective #mindsleuth #modernart #searchingforcamus #strangersinparadise https://www.instagram.com/p/CJjTPnJh1rO/?igshid=1gfkshm6dozz1 -- source link
