beyond the bramble

Broken Branches. WIP. Have a fun Thursday wherever you may be.

Honey Squash. Day two. I'm entering my fourth year of painting and every year I try and approach the game a little differently in hopes of growing. This year my goal is to push deadlines and time out the window and carry each work to its absolute conclusion. Going to be a boring Instagram year but I think the work will shine.

Honey squash block-in. Returning to in-depth studies of the seemingly mundane is incredibly meditative while deeply challenging.

Stage one. Block-in.

Always enamored by artists who keep stringently neat work areas. Admittedly I don't understand the how or why but I'm always intrigued. #art #studiospace #oilpainting #denverart
