I can't sleep. I've been thinking about so much today. Thinking about the potential of this site.... Thinking about the amazing talents that I've seen on here today. It's like a myspace, but filled with goodness and I'm in awe and gratitude to the creators of the idea, but to "us" for filling it up.
I love to paint. I always have enjoyed being productive. I find it near impossible to relax unless I'm in the process of trying to accomplish things.
Lately however I have been particularly happy and I want to explain why. Call this a 1am ramble.... (How on earth I'm going to get up at 6 and walk my dog..... !!)
I believe that I've found a new art movement. I was in another forum recently and I had a bunch of artist's calling me "wacky" because of it.
Although my art to many of you may appear to be abstract or categorized as such, I disagree. There is not a piece of my work that is a random pattern. I see it as a story, and a very defined story at that but this is what I've found to be new......
Lately I've painted a picture and when I show it to friends or potential buyers they are seeing something in the art that I'm not seeing. Although the painting is 'completed' and signed by me, they seem unwilling to accept that as the case. I believe my art gives people not willing or wanting to pick up creative tools and turn them into creatives. Their mind is the brush and the stories that come from them are astounding. What's more, once they have given that story it imprints (almost) onto that work, adding to it. "Blown" is the best example of this. It's like the painting can't stop creating because everyone who sees it keeps adding to it.
Ever sat on the toilet and stared at the floor and seen a face?
Ever looked up at the sky and seen something in the cloud formation?
This is sort of what I'm talking about.
This blog may come across as kind of stupid. It's late, for me... although I see some of you are still awake.... Night birds.
but I'll leave you with these thoughts and perhaps edit in the morning.
Good night and God Bless. I am so thankful for this day because of you all.
Adam.
I love painting because.....
