Sandalphon - Color Phase

And here's the interesting stuff.

Going light on value meant that I needed to go heavy on color. The color variation is what is driving this piece, so figuring out interesting ways of twisting oranges and blues together is what is going to make or break this thing. It's fun! I am sneaking away from other responsibilities to jump into this, which is always a good sign.

If you are aspiring to be an artist, my first and last recommendation is that you find a way to love the process of making art. In troubling or stressful times, artwork can be an escape. In good times, it can be a grand revelry. Continuing to learn this lesson is my lifelong goal. Finding your way back to loving artwork is a never ending chase and potentially forever fulfilling.

Ahhh these colors and lines are so joyous!

That is great advice. For some reason a few years ago I'd lost that spark of loving painting and never felt very inspired. I was re-inspired by going to an intense workshop for a month (Imaginism) and being surrounded by art and reminded of how amazing it is to be doing it. It was amazing! There's nothing better than that feeling of not wanting to go to bed because you have so much you want to paint OR waking up in the morning super fresh as you can't wait to get to the studio!
