Another idea for a shaped canvas painting. These painting will most likely move from the sketchbook to the canvas. It is amazing how many ideas never get executed. This is a state that I do not want to remain in. I will post the painting when I start to make it happen. One thing about sharing your ideas, it will force us to make the work.
This is a image of a person behind bars. It could just as well be a person psychologically imprisoned in the mind.
One of many sketches of my mother. This one while she was sick with cancer. She was strong even while dealing with difficulty, we still had a lot of laughs watching Bill Cosby and serious also talks. I still miss those times.
This pen and ink drawing was done while I was sick in the hospital for a long stretch. I incorporated a lot of detail in it. This was a way of dealing with the pain and fevers that I was having at the time. Drawing became my therapy. When you are going through stuff try working creatively. This also helped me financially with the open edition prints that I made. So on one hand I was stressed out with illness on the other It provided income when I thought I had lost everything including my job. But the art that I produced helped offset the lack funds from lack of benefits.
This is the beginning of me baring myself to you and letting you peep into my sketchbook. You will see ideas before they become actual finished products.
