pushing

I have a penchant to push myself a bit. I am not good at certain things but feel they are still quite necessary and do make me think and act differently. Self portraits are part of this effort. My most recent effort here has had its challenges and it is still far from done. I keep plugging away at it. It is a way to charge forward with something that can/might/ ought to be playful and at the same time educational and in the end hopefully enlightening in one form or another.

update

This has been a slow start painting season. I have found that there is a great deal to be done in the studio before I can seriously consider getting out the brushes and canvas.

The above work is in progress and is using paint skins as a medium. Interesting stuff.
