"Mixed Tomatoes"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
I'm finally back after such a long hiatus, I've been working on larger paintings and also ball point pen drawings. I've decided to slow down a bit with these alla prima's and concentrate a bit more on my personal art work. I felt as if these alla prima's started to become my identity as an artist and their sole purpose from the beginning is to just be practice paintings, in which they are. I'm diving into larger more allegorical paintings, which means they do take longer to produce and I will not be devoting as much time to these alla prima's. It's hard to not paint these little guys every day but I have to force myself in order to really produce a body of work that truly speaks as to who I am as an artist. I plan to still produce one or two a week of these alla prima paintings after all I do love painting them and learn so much every time I finish one.
On a side note I'll be teaching again this week coming up on the 22nd of March figure drawing at the Bloomington Art Center. You can check out their site here and sign up for my class!
