Yes, a lot of people think I have ADD. But I don't think I do. I just get bored. I was checking out all of these artists that came recommended last night and one just blows my mind. Her name is Alyssa Monks. Here is an image of her with her HUGE paintings.Her work is unbelievable. Please visit her website and take a look.
It is seriously mind blowing. Anyway...I was thinking that I am going to try my hand at oils. As much as I love painting in a free, lose style, I really do love doing the realism paintings. And I think I can do a lot better if I do them in oil.
But here was my thoughts on doing work like this woman. I never get myself into something that will take more than two weeks. It's a random length of time but I think that's the time frame my mind is ok with and after that it just says, crap, just start something new already, would ya?
So...this is something I need to work on. If I want to REALLY push myself to keep getting better then I need to focus on my ADD issue. I need to start something that will blow ME away when it's done, whether it takes 2 weeks or 2 months. And just stick with it.
I think over the weekend I will go pick up some oil paints and start with the oils after the painting I'm doing now. Yes, sounds like a plan.
