I wonder how people organize their time differently.
I wonder how many people I painted next to consistently for 4 years in college are still painting.
I wonder why my paint doesn't dry in the winter, even in this apocalyptic warm weather.
What wild wonders.
Today, I wonder about David Ageno.
I wonder why he chooses hyper realism with cracked, smeared, globs of paint through the works.
But I also wonder how I have not seen his work before.
How simple and detailed the figure, but how colorful and expressive the strokes.
A marvel, really.
For now, my work is hibernating. The holidays have consumed me.
Luckily, I remained creative this season and made all of my gifts. A new challenge for me.
A homemade body scrub. An illustrated magnet. Bacon salt that was far too greasy. And watercolor mimicked candle holders created from nail polish.
It was several hours, days, and weeks in the making. But worth the surprised smiles.
My latest work, completed 12/10 and STILL not dry.
