I’m naming this painting “Jazz Man” spring / summer 2015.
Final thoughts:
This painting actually reminds me of Leonard Cohen, not sure why it does, at the same time makes me think of Jazz music ( hence the name Jazz Man). Leonard Cohen is a Canadian poet / songwriter.
Loving the rain!

I’m naming this painting “Purple Man” spring / summer 2015.
Final thoughts:
I try to get up every day at 5 AM, in order to paint for a couple of hours before I start my day. I made Purple Man this morning, he is my faviourite of the paintings from today! I try to paint, draw, sketch, and or write daily. I know this is one way to get better. While I paint each day, to-date I have only made one painting. The paintings I paint daily are kind of like sketches using paint. I hope that makes sense.
Enjoy your day!
