The time has come

Ever since I was ejected from my studio down the road, I have been set up in a corner of the third bedroom of out apartment.  Anyone who has stayed over would have smelled the sweet smell of oil paint chemicals, turps, thinners, mediums, smelly rags etc.... Well, we have finally decided that this can't be real good for our health, so I have packed away all my oil painting gear until I get a work space that's away from human habitation.

The big question now of course is what medium do I use for my art... Watercolor, Acrylic,.... Digital?  I almost feel like I am back to the drawing board and starting out from scratch.. All that time invested in learning how to use Oils, and now I have to move to another medium.... One thing is for sure.. Don't expect any masterpieces out of me in the very near future.

In the meantime I have  started to dabble in watercolors... A very different medium to oil, and requires a totally different technique.  I will post my progress on the blog I can document my progression, although I won't post any of the works on DeviantArt or my web site until I am convinced they are worthy pieces of art.

These are my first.  Remember, this is the first time I have used watercolors in over 10 years so don't be too harsh :)

The first is of one of the girls at work, from a recent photoshoot to create headshots.  My apologies to gabrielle!

And the second is just out of my head... 

All the best
