Artist's Studio thoughts

I very much like this picture of Francis Bacon's studio in Dublin. it shows chaos, maddess and productivity in my eyes. This is going to be the subject of one of my future abstracts, trying to represent the chaos but calmness that a studio needs to survive the artists thought process's and everyday use of a single room or warehouse. To me as an artist this has everything that a painting needs mood, texture, movement and plays through a story like a play.

Still rusty at fine art....

I have just recently started picking up paint brushes after 2 years of trying to avoid the dreaded annoying and frustrating nature of fine art painting, but something miraculous happened I actually enjoyed it. I found it to be a freeing experience in two areas.

The second part of the freeing experience was it was a surprise that I was better than I thought I would be at, yet still quite rusty as my new series of paintings show...
