breathing and eating

i am inspired by all things.

the air around  me

as well as the art around me.

here is a photo that really captures the essence of breathing out

and the fog in the air.

the quality of color i love, and ironically enough, the picture i took

is a subdued picture of pigment,

i think it's rather appropriate in my inspiration.

next, this is a paintig i'm working on

i'm giving it a go with the pallete knife

and i have to say i'm rather pleased with how comfortable i am with it.

it's very freeing.

in which for this whole semester thus far, ... well.. prior to this painting

i was holding my breath

feeling like i lost the talent to paint

so.. here i am

back in the swing of things.

it's great to be back

its great to feel alive again.

so hopefully i can start adapting

my technique into something

maybe more like this?

but.. in the mean time, some *food* for thought..
