small acrylic studies

Yes. There are times when i get tired of working on 2-D works, paintings, drawings, etc...  So i work with 3-D projects.  Some are just oddly shaped canvases and others are actual objects.  And i've noticed that working this way helps me in the 2-D realm. The moment that you try to sculpt a 3-D form you begin to understand more of the shadows and curves that make up the shape. To wrap your mind around a painted object, it seems like, you need to physically make it first.

If you ever have artist block play this game. Go up to a friend and ask them for a color, a living creature, a setting, and a motion/emotion. (you can alter this game anyway you like) That is what helped to spur on these two images. 1st image : purple, scarab beetle, water, drooping 2nd image : teal, waterbear (tardigrade), bubble, relaxing *google search a waterbear, they are fascinating little bugs ;)
