What Do You See?
Mar 26th
This painting was originally inspired by a drawing from my notebook. I will update this blog soon to show you what the original drawing was. It came from one of my only notebooks that I’ve managed to completely fill…
It reminds me, that I should get back into the habit of carrying a notebook around so I can draw whatever comes to mind, or whatever inspires me. That notebook is filled with random, crazy abstract images, and also drawings of teachers while I was bored in class, and friends that I set with during lunch.
Keep a notebook, and do your best to define what you see…
First Water Superstition Montage
Mar 20th
Soon after it rained here in Arizona, I went for a hike to clear my mind. Usually when I go out for a hike, I’ll bring some water and some food, enough for an hour or so, and that’s what I did… Once I was out there, I was enthralled by the beauty of the desert and my body was soaking up all the sunlight – so I stayed out there for a few hours, and a few hours longer. And before I knew it, I was out there for 7 hours, hiking around from one place to another.
Did I get lost? Of course not. I followed the water downstream and that took me into a wild world of adventure. Of course, I had a lot more fun by myself than I would have if I was with anyone, because I was stopping and taking photos, and jumping around from rock to rock like a hobbit. It was all an adventure to me, and I was just happy to be outside in nature. This video is just a short creation to try and portray my hike that day. Enjoy!
