I had another day off, so besides painting I dusted off my guitar and did a bit o’ video recording today. I have many YouTube Vids’ of me playing with my band, but this is my first “solo” one. It’s just a little vignette of me playing my song “Craving.”

“Eat all your vegetables and then you can have dessert.”

Fair enough.

Translating this to painting “Dessert” to me is starting a new painting. I am SO good at starting new paintings.  I love the rush that I get from putting the first layer of color on a blank canvas. That decisive moment, getting lost in the creative process. Sometimes having no clue what I am going to paint until I start doing it.  Fun times.

“Vegetables” are the pieces that I’ve started, one way or another and.. then never finished. Blame it on my attention span, or waiting for the paint to dry, or just straight out not being sure how to finish. One way or another I’ve managed to amass a collection of 24 paintings I’d consider in the “Vegetable” state. To be fair I think this number is quite down from the chaos that was  my last year of art college.

Regardless, it’s a new month and that has been thinking again about how many months there are left until the new year and how nice it would be if I finished all these “veggie” paintings so I could start a new batch of “Cookies” in January.  Wow. Can you tell when I write on the days I’ve only slept four hours??

Any who. Art Attack! Continues. I’ll keep posting progress of these 24 unfinished works until they are… finished. Enjoy, world.

After a brief Sunday Sketch Update break yesturday, I resume posting lyrics to my first album!

You can find them on the music page, just under the blurb about the album.  More to come!
