"Eyes In The Window Of Life" by Terry Honstead

This is one of those paintings where I let the painting show me the way it wanted to go.  I started with geometric shapes that were interlocking and overlapping.  It sat that way for quite some time until I decided that I wanted to use mixed media on it.  Then I had lots of fun painting designs, spraying, stenciling, etc.  I got quite a bit done on it and then hit another block!  Again it sat for quite a while, but then I decided to put a set of eyes and a hint of a face.  That pulled it all together for me and I did some more line work to finish it, and now I feel like it is done.  I am happy with it now and the name says it all.....

The winter sun is flooding my art studio ignoring the outdoor chill of this January day in the midwest. I am surrounded with the results of a month with no distractions. Fresh Paintings are drying in every corner, my journal is filled with new sketches and several canvases are in various stages of painting. I need to order more supplies but just dont want to take time away from this artistic flow. I do know that it's time I started sharing some of my new inspirations. These are all drawn from my reference photos taken thru the years, I have them conveniantly scrolling on my screen, whatever did we do before this world of digital photography. This particular painting is garden inspired, isnt it nice to know eventually warm weather returns?
Brush and pallete knife painted.
