Podcast Exercise: Yellow Brick Road

The Pocast Theme this week is Yellow Brick Road. I've been thinking about my path as an artist. This is where I would like to travel.  Sometimes, okay most times, it's not always inspiring to create, but it's a must. I got to get on that creative plane.

It's easy to brush off, (no pun instead) an art project after working your day job. I force myself down into my studio space to dabble at something. I have to schedule time to play.

This is a silkscreen series that I am expermenting with and will consist of several different portraits. For now, I'm playing with this image from the Alfred Hitchcock film, To Catch a Thief.
I am enjoying this process but already running low on ink.
Silkscreening is an expensive hobby but I love it.
I can't create art on a iPad.
I need to get my hands dirty. It's a feeling of accomplishment.

My goal is to these pieces of work into an art space or gallery.
This particular piece hasn't hooked yet....meaning I'm sure what direction it's going.
​
​ I need to keep experimenting like a scientist.
