Working in my studio after many days of absence. It always feels good to be here. I’m working on some house portraits. One for a friend who wants a drawing of her Tucson house for her Christmas card. One for an old friend who wants a painting of his childhood home. Trying to finish it for his birthday in October. And finishing up one of a new house my girlfriend bought a year ago. None are for hire. Well, one was, but I told my friend I would do it for free…need the practice and need the portfolio piece. I’m working from photographs and work in watercolor. I feel like breaking out though of this “safe” style and do something more like Edward Hopper
Painting by Edward Hopper
or Bay Area artist Robert Bechtle Robert Bechtle – Works | Louis. K. Meisel Gallery.
But let’s just get to it. I need to get out of my head and into my studio and keep working.
