Earlier this school year I tried out painting for the first time in my life. Well almost the first time. I had painted in art classes as a child and a little while building models when I was young. This was the first time I had ever taken a serious approach. I came to find out I was pretty good. I finished the bottom panel in this painting this week. There's still work to be done but I definitely am pleased with how it is coming along.I chose this as my creativity focus because my biggest problem as a painter is a lack of creativity. I consider myself to be a great painter as far as realism is concerned. However, anything past that is a real stretch for me. It's tough for me to find inspiration. It's incredibly hard for me to paint things that are not based on real objects or people. I can hardly paint without looking at something. My eventual goal is to be a halfway decent abstract artist or to employ other styles of art like impressionism or modernism and to come up with my own ideas. We'll see how all that goes.
