Capacity

  During the process of creating artwork an artist can reach a moment of epiphany where they truly understand that even though they've had accomplishments and sales they still may not have peaked. I've felt this recently. Although we can appear to have all the answers, when we radiate from within we find that our questions may out number our answers. This came true when I recently sold a painting and needed to pull 100 limited edition prints. In my effort to always give my customers quality work that they can collect and pass down, I had to thoroughly research the process of creating giclée prints, pronounced (Zhee-Clay). The print quality of these high resolution digital prints is seamless when looking at an original piece of work. As I continue to expand my body of work I will make these prints available for sale of some of my high interest volume pieces.

 
  I've also gotten involved in creating work using mixed media. It draws me to a story of famous art master, Henri Matisse. In Matisse' old age he was unable to go through the laborious task of painting and from his sick bed he continued to create by cutting out the images and affixing them to a canvas. Using this method he prolonged his art career and developed some of the most beautiful contemporary art pieces. Though the art world continues to evolve I've learned just like fashion all things, styles, designs and techniques come back around.


  I thank God for granting me with an immeasurable amount capacity to receive these blessings and still giving me the humbleness to continue LEARNing and PERFECTing my craft. ALWAYS REMAIN A STUDENT OF THE GAME!
