Transitional Winter: A period of change
I would like to introduce you to "Transitional Winter." It was a piece that I completed back in December 2016. The original, one of kind artwork, is a 30"x40" acrylic painting on canvas. It was done in a special time of my life with a lot of personal changes going on. I had just got married, quit smoking cigarettes and was looking to buy a new house with my new wife. I had also been away from painting for a few years. I just let life get in the way. Not to mention that I wasn't liking what I was producing, so I took a hiatus. This is the first painting I did after taking my "break." After that, I decided that I would never take another break again. I realized that it was such a waste of any kind of talent that I might posses to let it go dormant. I find now, that when I don't like what I am producing, I get overwhelmed or frustrated, I just work through it. It is only in the creation of new work will I continue to grow my craft and become a better artist.
