Queen of Hearts

Tonight I enjoyed looking out the window at nature growing. Something small, to take and disappear into. Wonderland. This idea was quickly captured, but made me think of a series that would be fun to do on my surroundings and the contrast we have. 

Tonight I resurfaced some old travel photos. I've been thinking a lot lately how I miss the dirt on the road. Below are some captures of central america. 

Tonight I started a new series, I will be documenting the layers on different canvases that I create.  Over the last few years I've been drawn to express myself through abstraction, and I am now looking to combine this with storytelling.  I've always left it up to the viewer to convey their own emotion, and in a sense, improvisation.  But now I'm going to go back to figures to tell the storyline. I see it as theater and creating a set to be played. 

These are my beginnings that will encompass my story. Once dried, and many new layers applied, Ill start to incorporate some figurative work to set the stage for the desired outcome.

I was inspired by reading some of William Kentridges work and his plays he did, plus I need to reroute back to some of my drawing days. I miss those days of shading and pen and ink.
