mood

my mood is quite a bit better today, although i did not get much in the sleep department last night. on the bright side i did make a wonderful stake on the grill last night, with a mixed green salad (with cucumbers and tomatoes and a garlic vinaigrette dressing) and roasted mushrooms on the side. it was very tasty to say the least!now i have to focus on some art tonight after work, i need to be much more busy with it then i have, i am thinking of doing a series of abstracts based off of space/time, sort of like a landscape but much more painterly forming the open (spaces) areas more as objects and how they interact with the real objects, i think this will help me with the negative spaces in my figurative works. speaking of the figure, i really need to start thinking about the direction i want to move with these, not the abstract ones but the more expressionist/impressionist ones, i want to build in allegory/story more into the work. I think that the focus of these should be political in nature (and spiritual or lack there of). a title (for the series) has been swimming in my head for quite so time, i think i will use this as a starting point. the tentative title is "of saints and of prostitutes". at least it is a starting point for thought and for conversation, plus it is a good juxtaposing metaphors. i would be interested some thoughts from you all.
