Kaboom!



A speedy from this afternoon. I'm trying (REALLY HARD, I swear!) to get back to painting and experimenting every day. Recently I've been trying to improve and simplify my use of shapes - I never spend enough time thinking about strong shapes for the big-picture read of a piece. So here we are... Also been trying to just paint SIMPLER. At a certain point, I always tend to hide behind textures and details without putting enough time into getting composition and lighting right.

  1. We seem to share the same problems Mike! I love the strokes in this pic - reminds me (yet again) to loosen up.

  2. Thanks! Haha, that's funny, I was reminded the same thing by your more recent work.
