This is one of my earliest paintings. This is my Ancestor, as I remember him. I was terrified of the black and white photo of him standing in the woods. He was smiling, yet at the tender age of four, I knew there was something about him. I knew he was dead, because the photo was really old. Strange how I made that connection. The memory of that photograph that used to hang on the wall is all that remains. And this. . . As I’ve grown into a man, I’m far less afraid of him now. He came out of my brush one day and I know him as an old friend ever since. Meet Carl. Say hello Carl. . . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3b6966dc3a934c5b4ac927/1581382925787-EZMN5JBBWAYULGTACHVC/Paints.png The Studio - The Instructor and The Student When I first started, I had no instruction whatsoever, other than my wife who told me I should try it. I believe there is a good natured yet malevolent spirit in instruction in terms of art. The opinion may be unpopular, but I would argue that it’s true. In doing anything like anyone else, a part of that learning becomes a part of you, which is no doubt a blessing However, the curse of it is that the beauty of accident, I fear, would be lost! I’ve learned so much for not trying to do things perfect, but to see things in terms of a natural progression. Like a child learning how to tumble and fall, and in this action of simply doing I’ve discovered as Bob Ross would say, “The Joy of Painting.” Ironically since I do not paint in his style I have not learned much in the way of technique, but I’ve learned something much more precious. His voice, I often lean on the memory of it when I’m uncertain, and unsteady. He’s always there reminding me that it’s ok. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3b6966dc3a934c5b4ac927/1664755918598-NZI9Y24I5H4VJB0HWWFC/PXL_20221001_185806194%7E2.jpg The Studio - Self Portrait 1 If memory serves this was my first attempt at a self-portrait.
