I be Strokin’…or just Painting

Soon after drawing begins to become stagnant painting comes in as the next obvious step. It’s drawing with color. Its the next leap into the world of creating imagery that will take you places out of the monochromatic realm (mostly). It is beautiful. I DO NOT claim to be any type of master nor do I lay claim to be one of the best. I simply enjoy what I do and will always do it. This will be my personal painting post. I will be listing paintings that I have done in categories of medium used. I feel it necessary to warn you that some of this is completely absurd and some of these pieces may be found to be inappropriate by some viewers as well as advocates and what-nots-or-the-others. These pieces do not always reflect my true personality, however this stuff did enter my head at some point so I’ll leave you to be the judge. I, simply stated,  have a ridiculously twisted sense of humor. So please check them out . I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed painting them.

First I will start with Water colors. This is a medium that I have yet to explore all the possibilities with. I have studied and understand them and want to go for the gusto with it eventually. Here are a few that I have utilized the medium with.

Here you have a chunk of examples and there are still tons more to add to all of these! just need to find and/or take pictures of more. I think its boring to give it all up at once though, don’t you? Stay engaged and keep looking. Thanks.
