Actually, it's a collection of things...: January 2015
http://actuallyacollection.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Actually, it's a collection of things. A record of my personal artwork. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Learning as I go: Acrylic Mediums. This weekend I took a little trip to my happy place, Curry's, to pick up some colors for a work-in-progress that I started last week (I'm very excited about this project and may be posting up-dates as to my progress). While I was there, I picked myself up a little treat: a variety pack of Golden mediums and pastes for acrylics, for about 25 bucks plus tax. The pastes and g...

Actually, it's a collection of things...: March 2015
http://actuallyacollection.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Actually, it's a collection of things. A record of my personal artwork. Saturday, March 28, 2015. I'm not sure if I should call this a work-in-progress. I don't exactly feel 'done' but I do feel like there is no where further I can take it, and any further tinkering will lead to ruination. It's a happy-but-not-quite-satisfied feeling. I'm about 80% excited about the result, but I still feel like it's not quite complete. So I'm putting it aside and calling it complete. For now. Links to this post. After a...

Actually, it's a collection of things...: May 2015
http://actuallyacollection.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Actually, it's a collection of things. A record of my personal artwork. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Last weekend I took my youngest daughter and a couple of friends south to the not-quite-'the city' city for some shopping. While there, we stopped into an exotic fish store. To look at. well, fish. One of the tanks featured close to, if not all, the different fish featured in the Pixar film ' Finding Nemo. So I decided to do a quick one off using one of pictures of the fish from the Finding Nemo tank. I found i...

Actually, it's a collection of things...: Rugged Road - Use At Own Risk
http://actuallyacollection.blogspot.com/2015/07/rugged-road-use-at-own-risk.html
Actually, it's a collection of things. A record of my personal artwork. Sunday, July 26, 2015. Rugged Road - Use At Own Risk. The guy I share my home and heart with, he and I like to go exploring. We operate under a belief that deep down, most 'No Exit' signs are mere suggestions. We will take long afternoons driving around and testing the limits of my beloved PT Cruiser aka'd as "Petey". Over the last four years, Petey has been subject to a fair amount of abuse. Acrylic on 20x16 canvas. Buy Prints at Fi...

Actually, it's a collection of things...: Triptych - Fatty Wants to Dance
http://actuallyacollection.blogspot.com/2015/08/triptych-fatty-wants-to-dance.html
Actually, it's a collection of things. A record of my personal artwork. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Triptych - Fatty Wants to Dance. My aim with this set was two fold:. 1) Get some practice in drawing bodies, especially bodies in motion. 2) Present a portrait of a subject that is feeling comfortable in her body, and experiencing joy at its movement. The personal is political, as they say. So this piece is pretty near and dear to me, and I had a lot of fun creating it. Here is the complete set:. I'm still u...

Actually, it's a collection of things...: August 2015
http://actuallyacollection.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Actually, it's a collection of things. A record of my personal artwork. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. The Better To Eat You With. I don't have much to say about this piece. Screwing around with Instagram. Turned into screwing around and painting for painting's sake (which is not a bad thing, by far). 6x6 Acrylic on masonite board. Basically, this was a one-off whose purpose was to allow me to practice painting mouths and even moreso, teeth, which can be a pain to draw and paint. Links to this post. The per...

Actually, it's a collection of things...: June 2015
http://actuallyacollection.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Actually, it's a collection of things. A record of my personal artwork. Monday, June 1, 2015. I never really *got* abstract painting. I like how a lot of it looks. I can appreciate it on a level of "Hey, that looks cool.". But I don't think I get it. However, I'm dabbling in the abstract, here and there, lately. I can't say it's been an epiphany at all, but I'm starting to understand the appeal, from an artist's perspective. The emphasis falls on the process, rather than the end result. I sometimes think...
