6x6" oil on masonite
last weekend I went to a gallery talk with a few local artists. They talked about their lives/careers/work etc etc. It was very interesting. Jim Kubiatowicz whose work I admire, was one of them and I was amazed to learn that his paintings are painted from his memory. Of course he observes constantly but when it comes to putting paint on canvas the image is coming from his mind. He told me to try it, to think of a place,a mood, a scene; then paint! So I tried it and it was a little scary at first but very fun. ( You can tell by the 'scrunchy' that my mind traveled way back...oh circa 1988)I'm definitely going to do more of it, dont know if any will make the blog, I wasnt even going to post this since it was just an exercise but I thought I'ld show what I am up to and maybe this will creep into my other work as well (that was all code for: its a cold rainy vacation week and Mom hasnt painted ANYTHING in a couple days :-) )
