It's the last First Friday for Fredericksburg of 2011! I have had a lot of opportunities come up this year in terms of my hopeful future art career. I have made a lot of talented friends that share the common interest of art. And I have gotten a spot at Libertytown Arts Center too.
Every First Friday I try to rearrange, add and take away my art. The idea that someone will come in and see my space look exactly the same as the previous month, concerns me.
I am working on a new series. A little different than my normal "style". Just some things I have learned over the last year, different styles I have been studying, a new medium. I am trying to seamlessly connect my old style with the new. Here's just a taste of some of the new things I have been working on. It's called "distressed" and is oil on canvas.
If you feel a tugging of slight familiarity, I am currently and obsessively studying up on Lucian Freud. An artist friend of mine, Bill Harris loaned me a large book of his works and I haven't been able to put it down. Quite an interesting character as well as an amazing artist. I love his ideas about art, it's definitely ideas that I relate to.
Come check out the rest of my new "stuff" next weekend, First Friday at Libertytown Arts Center.
