Here I am catching up on the blogs, my new years resolution is to update the blog more regularly, and also look into creating a book of these works and the captions. Probably one themes with landscapes, the other on the abstracts. This year was a gradual process with my art, as of 2017 I slowed down a lot on the number of paintings and focused on original ideas and high quality finish. As the latter part of 2018 rolled around things picked up mostly after the trip to Amsterdam and the visit to the Van Gogh museum, and reading the book on his career. I kept thinking that his life ended at the age of late 30's, and just imagine what he could have done if he had lived longer. I was looking for a turning point stylistically, and I think I found it this year, not just in using a lot of yellow (like in the parking posts seen at the grocery store parking lot in this painting),. but in understanding the method, the journey. Unfortunately Van Gogh's journey took him to the stars too early. But his influence lives on.
