Tonight was wonderful. Although my focus was challenged by the youthful company that I had around me I was able to push further into this piece. The Lord is good and patient :) I can't imagine not being an artist. There is nothing like it. The satisfaction of completing a piece is not something I can describe well enough. Sometimes I feel like an unworthy of having art in my life so who am I to waste it?
As I delve deeper into the conceptual process of this series I find myself feeling full of energy and very tolerant of many things. They are not much of a concern to me because something greater is happening in my life presently. All I want to do is sit down and dig deeper into this line work. I find myself studying lighting as I'm driving to work or talking to someone, watching how the warm light hits their face. The hard shadow vs the soft shadow. The glass object vs the wood... it's all pulling me in day by day. Light is everything at the moment especially when it comes to pushing myself to go to the next level as an artist. I need to return to figure drawing as well. I haven't had a good figure drawing session for quite some time. Being immersed in creativity is my goal. Activism has its good but it is not me all in all. I can't imagine remaining in activism without art being at the center of my expression in the pursuit of justice. Art here I come. forgive me for being so blind for so long. I intend to redeem the time God willing. Amen.
