The first in a series of 12 paintings I hope to complete by February, in time for my solo art show at a local museum, AND to apply for graduate schools for the fall of 2012.

I went through an artistic depression a few weeks ago. Nothing I did worked. I painted myself into a rut. And then I started to break out everything in my arsenal: ink pen, watercolour, pastels, acrylics. And viola. Spell broken.

This is called The Dreaming Place. I think it’s a good start to what will hopefully become a trend of works.

15in x 22in at 140lb watercolour paper.

P.S
You may recognise the composition as similar to my Sketchbook Project 2012 composition. That was a study for this one.
