I heart portrait work, especially when doing so from life. My son who just turned four years old finally sat for me twenty minutes. I believe it was magical how quick this 36x40 acrylic portrait came together.

     Chiming in for the very first time  this year, and these blog posts are few and far between; however, I am committed to blog forward in the spirit of sharing my art from the source myself. Spring 2017 was a great season of creative endeavors and opened new doors to establishing a personal style and new body of work. 120 paintings done in two weeks. The process completely new to me, and  completely spontaneous like a volcano bursting with lava. 

        I may explain more about the process later, to some it may be obvious? Here's a sample of the work. 
​

Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence. Henri Matisse:


Drawing the basics for the basis of making expressive art is the root of ALL art. 

1. Cave Paintings.
2. Illuminated Transcripts.
3. Pre-Colombian. 

art are all great examples of how 2-dimennsional art drawings have thrived in many cultures and  including modern day society and through out history. Artists who draw and paint have been a staple to society for ages.

This is my basis for the basic. I was inspired to be an artist in Drawing and Painting for this reason. But not reason alone. 


 

Greetings :) ! At last, I bring another post in regards my mixed media abstract painting of the figure. This study was more about using new tools and paints. I started with 90 lb drawing paper gessoed it and applied numerous layers of paint! Thus! This was born! Untitled: 22x24 inches.

ALAS! I may blog again. I'm super stoked and excited to be back stay tuned.

Greetings Folks,
This is my first "v blog", video blog... These micro tidbits of demonstrating art practices... Are an impromptu and informal way of how I prepare a canvas for paint.

As you may remember, "managing my art as parent is 'getting easier'..." Hint- from my previous blog. And! Alas! My art Is becoming a bit more steady being  parent of a seventh month old boy. However. I am learning that an impromptu,efficient, take on studio practices are becoming more creative, especially since it's cold outside and my home studio has downsized dramatically due to my son's arrival last May :). 

Here are some mini Instagram videos showing how I usually tone a canvas. I do this for various reasons,different ways; so this is the very basic that I share with all my clients who are or have taken art lessons from me. 

Go here >Instagram< to follow my posts and see what catches my eye or lens of my 5c. And check out my second v log about grating charcoal. 

Thank you for tuning in,
Moysays .
