In A Crowded Room
Just finished this painting tonight; I've been working on it for about two weeks now.
This is the first in piece in the "dammit, I'm determined to paint regularly" resolution.
I made that resolution last summer sometime. And managed to squeeze out only a few paintings between then and now. So a support resolution was made back in January; when I get my tax money this year, after I've made some big payments on a few bills, whatever's left of said tax money, I will buy a bunch of canvases and paints and start painting. The goal to ultimately have a dozen or so pieces done by June so that I could have a portfolio to start peddling about town to try to get them shown or to start selling prints online or something professional with my art.
Its May now... I have 4 paintings... so... I need to bang out a minimum of 8 more... I've set the bar very high. I promise to not beat myself up emotionally if I don't meet the dozen deadline- as long as I know I've made an honest effort to get myself painting more often.
No more sitting around the apartment feeling bored, wondering what to do with myself- I already know what I want to do with myself! Good grief! The eternal battle with procrastination will be won by me if I have to chain myself to my painting table!
Moving on to the piece in question. Its titled: In A Crowded Room
Acrylic on Canvase
This is a diptych. I'm really keen on the idea of doing a few diptychs and triptychs... I actually aspire to eventually do a piece with as many as 7-12 ... er... um... "tychs"? What would you call a seven piece "tych"- a septych? Which sounds like septic... hmm... I'll leave that to mull about in the noggin.
I will post close ups of the textures later or tomorrow as the batteries died in the camera and I can't find the ones I know I have lying around here somewhere. :)
