back to work on wednesday

Craig
24" x 40", oil on canvas

This is what I've been working on for a semi-short while this winter break. I decided against doing pretty much everything else, mostly because I over-obligated myself to myself and others, hah (this is the story of my life). This painting isn't nearly finished at all. I'm at the point where I'm not sure what to do next because I never work representationally and I'm not very good at that style of painting haha. It'd be nice if I could work loosely. I know how I ended up here, I sort of know where I want to go, I just have to get there; however, I'm waiting for the semester to begin again first, so that I can get some opinions from peers/academia (or, simply anyone/everyone).


Today my brother and I went to Turkey Run State Park in Parke County IN because at some point I'd like to do something, whether it's drawings, prints, large paper cutouts, or paintings, based off of ice on rock. I've never been to Turkey Run during the winter, but I'm glad I went despite there only being a high temperature today of 10 degrees. I'm especially glad that my brother likes to hang out with me and went along. Had he not, I'm not sure if I would have been as adventurous, nor do I think I would have enjoyed myself so much. I got some pretty nice photos in the process.
