down and done

Sometimes it is hard to see around the immediate and focus on the task at hand. I find that when I encounter a block, particularly in relation to creativity, it is best to work from inside what I like and "flip it" in my mind. Sometimes I am rather lazy when it comes to my approach and I have a lot of techniques still to learn. I have made the decision that this is something I like to do for myself. I am not competing for a prize. I am not worrying about how it appears to others. I am out to have some fun and adventure through art. That is my only concern. And I guess I would like to see how far I can get with regard to my skill level. I have seen phenomenal work that has blown me away. I know I am not that person but I like to think I come at it with some honest motivation. I want to work and when it becomes a consuming thing, to sit and work, you know you are hooked. There are many hours and days to work on how I can bring certain visions to reality. For now the investigation of materials and subject is my goal. This is something I have done for a very long time and the difference between the then and the now is huge. If you feel you can not do something... try it anyway. I like to think that art expression is a part of all people. And some will say I am a big sap... so be it. In love with Jasper Johns "Target with Four Faces"... I think that's it's name.
