"Flux" - my solo show @fredschnidergallery will open March 6th. Having my most recent work hanging in one space ( other then my Studio ) will be an opportunity to reflect on the last few years. Each piece is a journal entry and marks a moment in my life. Forever changing, growing and being inspired by the people I paint. Thank you Caroline ( my wife ) Danforth, @blueriverdream , Esther Williamson, and Desidero Steward. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZ-veZnCyi/?igshid=1kytvi0uijxs0

For two years I only painted in black and white. It really helped me understand the importance of light in my work. Color is secondary. #scotthutchisonart #blackandwhite #artwithmeaning #instaart #oilpainting #figureartist #handsinart #creative #dmvartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CLU4-N8H5aC/?igshid=bprzd26e4llk

This underpainting in oils is starting to take shape. No title yet. My titles usually come in a song lyric, or a passage in a poem. They always seem to just happen. . . I can't wait to see what words inspire the title for this one. #contemporaryfigurepainting #artwork #underpaintings #oilonpanel #workinprogress #surrealism #realismpainting #dcartist #scotthutchisonart https://www.instagram.com/p/CKhYOKqnzqB/?igshid=fdfpmvdbicp5

Get out those weights! What are your interesting art practices? For years I've used my weights that I don't use to weight lift to apply pressure when I'm gluing something down. In this instance, I'm gluing down hanging apparatus on the back of my paintings on aluminum. 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♂️🏋️ #artstudio #artprocess #wip #scotthutchisonart https://www.instagram.com/p/CKFBPXWH3jL/?igshid=7ards8xefl5x

No New Year's resolution. I'm just going to let it unfold. Relaxing with some energetic edges and colors this Jan 1!

A self portrait digital collage idea. I'm not sure if this or a version of this will be the painting someday. I wanted to release the image here anyway to lift your spirits this Christmas Eve day. Lol! ♥️🎄#scotthutchisonart #digitalcollage #selfportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/CJL5373Hdka/?igshid=yg6qmudlsec3

Relax! Not everything you do has to break new ground. Right now, I'm using my paintings as a reference for some new ink sketches. #inkdrawing #sketchaday #smallart #portrait #kunstwerk #instaart #creative https://www.instagram.com/p/CI9mluRnmXH/?igshid=1eo9ccvumih9f

Sometimes I like to having fun investigating my paintings through a different medium. @scotthutchisonart #inkdrawing #micronpen #portraitdrawing #lineart #inkonpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/CI7EBczHEQY/?igshid=bc910y585d7a

I enjoy the craft behind every piece. #scotthutchisonart #artprocess #craft #creatingart #oilpainting #paintingonaluminum #instaart #artstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CIs1QPQHikB/?igshid=1rejcthxt3qbu

"Connected" is a 10 inch oil painting on aluminum. It's not finished yet, but it's getting closer. Everything seems to take longer these days. Whew! I won't sugar coat it, it's been hard to stay focused, for extended periods of time these days as well, and my heart hasn't been into the work these days. I was probably painting on this piece with a disgusted look on my face. I just didn't seem to like anything that I was doing. But I keep going nonetheless. ( Even if it's a crawl ) Sometimes that's all you can do, move forward. Inspiration will return, passions come and go. I remain ready. #scotthutchisonart #moveforward #oilpainting #hands #artonaluminum #create #figureativeart #dmvartist #tondo #kunst #contemporarypainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CIi3hYkHy-l/?igshid=skmtgtjs1wy4
