Some say a painter can expect to produce around 1000 pieces of art during their lifetime… Picasso was said to have well over 3500 pieces at his time of death. .. Sieglinde and I have lost count but we think its a little over 500… For me I have always wanted to have a significant body of work… as the artist changes so does their style… and the body of work is the best way to tell a story of the journey, ….the ups the downs…. the truth, and the triumphs. For me the most exciting part is the energy I feel right before I finish one and then the anticipation of starting another one… This is all part of the artistic process, but one of my main objectives in building a body of work is staying active in the studio and creating as much as I can on a regular basis.. I try to paint everyday and if not able I am usually sketching in my sketchbook.
Below are pics of a small portion of our body of work on show at the VIP booth at Reggae in the Desert and our gallery , Matters of Abstraction, studio 7
have a great week everyone… talk to you soon
……..peace
