doing paintings of trees, with the idea of nature/natural elements themselves as modern day iconography (icons like byzantine icons of saints/jesus/etc)... trying to figure out the best way to actually have people figure something of that bit out. but for now, i'm just happy with the trees. the one of the Gingko tree (doesn't have leaves yet) looks quite fantastic in the dim light of my bedroom right now. whoever said acrylic was impossible is retarded. you just really have to work it quickly and you can get some fantastic effects that you can't get (at least that quickly) with oil. the fact that its flat and has lots of texture at the same time is pretty cool, thanks to the miracle of various acrylic painting mediums (gel medium, gloss medium, modeling paste, gesso)... v. excited to finish, and want to do a HUGE painting now.
actually, would like to collaborate with David Bromstad (from HGTV, and yes, I totally watch HGTV all the time) to incorporate my art into home decor if i had a house. however, still live with parents in their apartment, soooo that won't be happening. ever. since i'm going to be here until i'm 45.
ew heart burn.
