On my desk...




I'm working on a couple of things right now. Seems I'm in a portrait mode and am doing one of my son. (Shhh don't tell him, he has no clue and will be just horrified) I'm liking the odd offbeat portraits instead of a formal style and am enjoying playing around with that. 

More often than not there is never enough time in the day to sit and work on my art and even more often I feel keenly aware that I am struggling to find my own voice in my work. It's not really a bad thing but it's almost like the "I've got the word on the tip of my tongue" feeling only with painting, if that makes any sense at all. I find by Friday I am anxious and in need of a fix and yet almost never make it to the studio. Today is Monday and I've spent exactly 3 hours working in the studio since Friday and am not dressed and out the door yet today although I'm hopeful it will happen. If only working a "real" j0b wasn't a neccesity LOL

Lori, if you haven't already, please read this short interview with Alex Kanevsky, my favorite painter. Best artist interview I've ever seen. All of it should interest you, but his response to the last question says it all.

Thanks Nick, but was there suppose to be a link to the interview? I found several interviews with Alex Kanevsky but am not sure to which you are referring.
