It doesn't matter how much distance there was between me and this tiger.  I was completely devoured.  Superlative in his prideful profession of dominance.  I was entranced by his splendour. 

I just wanted to show you that I have been working.  Sometimes the creative process is quite challenging.. So far this painting isn't turning out like I had hoped. This is all you get to see for now... I will keep you posted.  Just a little more despair and desperation to muddle through! 

So, I have been working even though I have had a lot going on in my life right now.  I think that I am at the point of saying that this painting is done.  I keep staring at it hopeing that I will see one more thing that it needs, but, I see nothing. So,time to sign! Oh, Happiness!

Here it is! Finished. 

Progress.  It's been a couple of days of work on this.  Finally, this shark ( I believe ) is starting to take some form.  Still, a lot of work to do.  It's very dull to look at right now.  So much more needs to be going on. 

I love Autumn, but, now all the bursts of color and changing leaves are falling to the ground.  The air is carrying with it a potent chill.  A transformation is beginning. Winter is on it's way. 

I have been commissioned to do a painting.  Even though, this is what I want to do.  It is difficult to paint for someone else because not only do I have myself to please, but, I am also worried that the recipient will enjoy my work.  Also, the subject may not be one that I personally would have chosen . Such as a shark.  I do not like sharks myself.  So, I did a really quick sketch of what I think this is going to look like.  This will be going onto a 16 x 20 canvas. 

Elephants in the Water

So, I have never posted any of my paintings or drawings up on my site before.  Up to now, I've done nothing but post my photography.  I enjoy many forms of art!  I think that it is kind of odd that I have chosen to put up a photo of this abstract painting that I am still working on, because of the fact, that this is the very first abstract that I have ever painted.  The reason that I have decided to paint an abstract is that I really need to step out of my box. All previous works of mine have been more realism. This is not at the point of being finished yet! 

 I think it is good to document the progress of a painting.  So, here it is.  5 x 7 Canvas. Acrylic.
