Hello my friends. I am sorry for the long gap between blogs, but this is a time of growth and healing for me. I will be on track soon, and I promise you some really cool stuff, including videos of me working and hamming it up. A lot of people don't know that when I was in high school I was offered a scholarship in drama to the NC school of the Arts. I turned it down and joined the Army because of the brainwashing of my Step-father. 38 years later and I still resent him for talking me out of taking the scholarship.
The reason for the upcoming videos is that Madison got us a really super nice Nikon camera for me to photograph my work at a very large resolution. Since I am now working on Canvas, scanning doesn't work so good anymore, so I am going to have to depend on photo's to capture my work. The camera also does 30 minute videos, more if I by more memory for it. I think 30 minutes will work fine for what I have in mind though.
Those of you on Facebook have seen these pieces, but the other readers haven't, so I will show them again. First up is the 2nd painting I have done of Model Madeline Frost.
It is on a 16 x 20 canvas, painted in oils. Madison and I are excited because Madeline will be coming to our home next month for a new photo shoot. The original shoot I did with here was more for the Fantasy/horror work I use to do.
The second painting is a portrait I did of myself. My very first. I have never tried to draw or paint myself until this. I felt it was time, considering this is a big turning point in my life.
I think the next portrait I do will be of Madison. I hope to be back with you much sooner than this time with video's to share with you. I have finally decided on the path I want this blog to take, and that is to use it to inspire and encourage all of my brothers and sisters out there. No matter what we each choose to do in life, the path is never easy, and I hope by sharing things I have learned in life that it will help anyone that is looking for answers. I think I can honestly say, I have been through it all. I've been on the bottom, and I've been on top. I have walked into the darkness and followed the path of light. Life is about learning, and I am still learning, but the things I think I have learned, I will gladly share in the hopes that it will help you on your paths.
So until I return, bless you all. Love and Hugs.
