I have never considered myself to be an artist. I've known too many people with much more skill in bringing their creative vision to fruition. This is a prevailing issue in my life, comparing myself, and my life results to other people. Why I can't just relax and enjoy the things I have accomplished, and allow myself to learn and grow I don't know. My inner critic has a very loud voice, one that sometimes I would like to silence. Recently though I've felt that my vision is lacking, or absent. I don't like that feeling and for whatever reason painting seemed like the answer to my problem. Maybe because I know I won't be the best, the voice of my inner critic isn't as important?
This painting came mostly out of my desire to play with the Modeling Paste. (a tube of paste to make your paint thicker, and keep it's shape when it dries) I didn't go in with a plan. I'll have to sharpen my skills so I can make a plan and execute it. If I tried to paint anything specific right now I don't know if you'd be able to tell what I was trying to do.
As you can see my skills at taking a photo of a painting are just as rudimentary as my painting skills.
I'm calling this one Blood Moon. Cause it's the first thing I thought of once I got my sun and stars together, it's not actually a sun.
