January 1, 2014.... Mug doodles!

2014 Goal: Everyday art...or...Art everyday...

I am creating this as a goal to keep art active in my life and get my mind and heart back to art. It could be to create something new or to start something and work on it or add to it daily. This is so that I am getting my creative juices flowing and producing some kind of effort to create art every single day for the year 2014. As a result this will keep art as a constant in my mind thus contributing to a productive and positive year and an overall happier me. I will try to update or upload often titling each progress with the date in which it was addressed. "A goal is a dream with a deadline." -Napoleon Hill (brainyquotes.com)

Drunken doodles with a paintbrush...

What better to do when you get home from the bar at 2am and your just not ready to go to sleep than get out some paints, paint brushes, and doodle.

Pandora is free...The booze is not!

These paintings are the beginning to a series I am working on called "Pandora is free... The Booze is not!" The idea is to make a series of oil paintings of this style while taking note of the pandora station I'm listening to and what beverage I'm consuming during the paintings creation. The First painting was "Red wine/blush and Mumford & sons" The second painting was "Newcastle and Bob Dylan"
