Resolution: A couple of years ago I decided to take up painting. Other than the cleanup process, I'm a big fan. As with all hobbies that require money I had to take a small break that damn near turned into retirement when my freelance work started to dry up.

I have another resolution to get back into painting and learn more about the technical aspects. Just like writing I feel there's always room for more art-themed resolutions. I'm just waiting until I can afford a decent easel because having to work with an unstable surface was another issue that I had with my first stab at the art form.

I think about painting a lot. Last night I started to think about the first painting I ever made. I gave it away as a gift and kind of miss it. I have no intention of asking for it back, but this did get me thinking about giving The Dancing Robot another go.

Then it came to me... VELVET!!!

I feel that my simplistic yet quirky style lends itself well to the medium of velvet. Who knows? Maybe this will be my escape from the day job. 

A man can dream.

Result #161: I'm In The Middle Of A Painting Class… As Soon As I'm Done Learning To Paint On Canvas… I'll Move On To Velvet…

Update #1: The Conclusion…

Date: 6-10-2015

I'm currently honing my painting skills and am about halfway through my class. As soon as I'm done I'll get to this painting.

As always, I'll keep you posted.
