I determined that I am going to make 100 paintings like I made yesterday before the month of October is up. I think I can do it without any trouble. I really don’t know. With two Holiday sales coming up it would just be nice to have a slew of new stuff. If I can make 100 of the drawings then I can get away cost wise to charge ten bucks or maybe less each. Small things seem to do better for me anyway.
As a result I’ve been walking around staring at the sky, however. I must look like a crazy man, which is, well, not that different than usual. I found a couple cool power lines walking around after the farmer’s market this morning and tried to get those across in these two pieces.
I was especially impressed with this image while walking down Congress Street today. I don’t usually like walking down Congress as it is the most populated street in Portland. For the most part you walk past tourists, homeless folks, and crazies. It’s really just a point a to point b sort of road, but while I walking with a friend today I caught sight of this beauty of a light pole. I had to do a piece of it.
This second one I am unsure of. While I do like that green quite a bit I don’t think it goes very well with that psychedelic blue and I really don’t want to get rid of the blue. It may become a strange orange tomorrow. I should probably calm down and go to bed. Listening to Graceland and then doing just that.
Peace
