As I mentioned real quick in my last post, I'm starting work on my next big body of work. I usually have a way of starting - if you're a long time reader here you're familiar with my process - but this time around things are lookin a little different...
I would by this time (I've started the first big painting), already have a few paintings sketched out in my sketchbook that I could jump onto probably at this point. But I kind of don't. And while the insecure painter inside my head wants to freak out, the MATURE painter inside my head thinks it's a breath of fresh air! I'm ready to J U S T E X P L O R E. I have a solid idea of what "theme" I would like to paint around, but the emotions and the story are a little loose right now, and I'm really liking it. I'm gonna use it as a way to challenge each piece - to REALLY push past my "safe zones" and trust myself. I will say this tho - it WILL BE my strongest body of work to date, and I will be kickin out the jams...

I don't understand it totally... First you make sketches and than make a bigger painting of it.
And now you have several little sketches in your sketchbook but you want to go painting on big scale right away? Am I right?
(sorry, maybe it's my poor English)
