Finally getting somewhere with this painting, been practicing a new technique painting oil over an acrylic painting.

I’ve been really interested in finding a theme for landscape painting, while also exploring expression. I’ve always been interested in what it means to add human emotions and traits to non-human entities. We call this Anthropomorphism. Research in the mythology of this in college led me to artists such as Emily Carr and Charles Burchfield. I studied post-modernism and how this period of art came about because of recent advances in the manufacture of paint in tubes during the dawn of the Industrial Age. My interest lies in continuing this tradition, but with a modern twist using current technology like painting on an iPad and AI. Currently I am looking at a lot of David Hockney’s work, and drawing inspiration from color pallets meant for the textile industry that I find on Pinterest.

Progress on pieces this week!

Enjoying this nice weather all set up at my booth! I stopped at the farmers market and got my peppers, basil, and tomatoes to grow for the year!
