What does it take to look inside someone. To see the side of them that others don't. What does it take to paint like that. To capture that feeling, if only for an instant, and put it on canvas. When I paint or draw someone I meet or know, this is the "connection" I try to achieve in my work. This "perceived" image can be somewhat different than the actual image of the person you are painting. This is, in my opinion, what makes great art.

Contemplating my art and the creative process behind it.......My mind is becoming filled with strange images that need to be drawn on paper! Having to do errands and other things certainly gets in the way! Rain again today! Just when I have to go out to run errands!
Attempting to learn the technological aspect of putting movies of me doing my art on my website! It's an exciting concept! Until then I will continue to put still pictures of myself and my art on my site! Very hot last night! Managed to clean cat boxes! All is well in my pet world! My hamster was running around in his exercise ball early this morning and managed to get under my bed! a place I don't usually like him to go, but like a good little boy he came out!
Alot to do today and boy is it hot! Got the air conditioner going though! Putting some strange ideas together for some new work. Must work finishing the work in progress also! Been wanting to play my guitar again too! So much to do and so little time! The day does not seem long enough for ME!
Meditating on whether to start some new sketches or continue working on my work in progress. Very hot, but air conditioning helps as long as you are inside! Must go to vet to renew my kittycat's medicine and clean cat boxes and upstairs.. Alot going on, but MUST work on my art!
Hot day today! Got out yesterday and today, but it was really raining hard last night! Was thundering and raining like crazy! Had another crazy dream last night! Another dream to ignite the flames of my creativity! Won't tell the whole dream yet, but perhaps will do a drawing or painting of it to show later! Otherwise I'm keeping it a secret for now!
Enjoyed wonderful veal parmesian last night! I cooked it of course so that's why! LOL! It was SOOO good, I just passed out on the bed after I ate it! Will TRY to get out of the house today for some fun and relaxation, but heard it was going to rain with thunderstorms so not sure what I will do today. Perhaps take more photographs to use on the site! I also added a description to the "Photography" section of my website for everyone to view.
Stayed up half the night cleaning and more cleaning to do today! It will be good though when I am doing my artwork without all the clutter! Working out a new conceptual drawing for a painting.....also plan to continue painting on the larger works in progress as well. A very large work takes alot more time in both it's concept and it's execution. I heard that Leonardo DaVinci worked for 20yrs on a single very large painting he was doing. Not sure which one it was. Now THAT takes commitment!
Alot of cleaning needed today! Cleaning the house and cleaning up after the animals. This is a good thing though as it will allow me unclutter my mind as I unclutter my room so I can continue with new ideas for my artwork. I will continue to work on my new website as well!
Updating my website today! I Generally have been doing alot of religious imagery and had an unusual dream this morning after seeing a news report on visions of the Virgin Mary at a particular place.....I think in NJ. In the dream, I looked out my window and saw a snow sculpture of the Virgin Mary with her arm outstretched towards me. VERY symbolic since I am doing a sketch/study for a new art piece that has a girl looking up towards the Virgin Mary!
