intersection: 3

a little more progress today. i didn't originally think that I'd draw in buildings, but I thought it was lacking without them...and i'm glad i did it.i'm very happy with the pinkish part of the tree trunk.

#2

It's difficult, as always, finding time to work on art. Of course, with the deadline of a Street Productions show coming up - there's extra motivation. We'll be having an opening at Tribal Cafe on April 7th (more info to come). But for now...here's the bit of progress I've made. First, I believe that this will be the canvas/background for the piece (note: the light is bad in this photo, it's actually black/white). I originally painted this probably 4 months ago and its been affixed to my kitchen wall since then - I kind of like it. My familiarity with it makes me somewhat hesitant to add anything else. But I found it in me to begin by sketching in a bit of an intersection in white chalk (the tree will be the big piece of white to the left).Next are two studies I did on small pieces of paper on how the tree might come out looking. I kind of like both of them, but they have quite different looks. I'm going to do one more before deciding (maybe tonight if I get home soon enough). I want the tree to look strong and whimsical at the same time...so we'll see.-km

"People who are open to art go to galleries. It is much better when people who do not expect to encounter art come across it. It is important for us that art is brought to the people, not vice versa."
