When Bad Art Happens to Good People

Wow - it's been almost a year since my last post. I have been in a very un-inspired place. But I am trying to turn it around. With all my might.

I have a potential commission, some time off, and art supplies just sitting around my house. I've decided that it is best to post even the bad (some may argue that is what I *have* been doing) along with the good (when it gets good).

I recently heard that a painter must do 1000 bad paintings before he finds consistency and quality. Here is my start!

Here is my most recent work. It's the first painting I have done since October of 2008. It's pretty terrible. I mean, I like aspects of it, and it's not the most terrible thing I have ever done, but *wow*. It's more of a sketch that I decided to paint. Yeah...

Watercolor and pencil on wood.
