I'm still alive...
and I'm going to try to start posting here again!
I've always wanted to be a real painter, but have had a hard time in the past deciding what to paint.
I try this subject and then that subject, always with this underlying need/pressure to find my voice as a painter. I feel like I have made a little progress in the past, improving at painting, but when I don't get the results I see in my head, I get frustrated and stop painting. Sometimes for years. I'm lucky that I get some creative fulfillment at my 9-5 job, but still the desire to become a competent oil painter is always there nagging at me. So I'm picking up my brushes once more. I feel like I'm starting from the very beginning. If there is anyone out there that reads this, please wish me luck...and stop back to view my failures and hopefully some successes as well. I have set goals...
