Back in the Studio

October has been a wonderful month. My "studio" (old dusty garage) is up and running! Believe it or not, my no-painting streak has lasted for about 10 months since the end of my final semester. The first few months without assignments was a heaven sent vacation... the last few months felt like torture. Painting has brought that bounce back to my step that I was starving for.

The first day back I felt totally overwhelmed with what to do. During my hiatus I realized I wanted to do something different than what I had been pursuing with my undgrad... but what to do? I pulled out all of my old sketch books, started thumbing through, and tearing things out that I liked and pinning them up. I was surprised to look up and find that my bulletin board was covered in similar looking sketches. It gave me a great place to start.

These are the first few I have finished for a series. I like them. I am wondering what will come next along the journey.

Thanks for reading, if you did, and enjoy!
