I tried...I mean REALLY tried...

I tried to have a blog with some color, but I couldn't take it. I am simply a black and white kind of person I guess. The color was too much for me. Even in my art it's all black and white. Perhaps someone could help me venture into the world of color in my art? I don't know what the fear or dislike is...I do love the undying and graceful dance between light and shadow...so perhaps there is no need for color.

There is a world of color yet to be explored. I love color around my house. Earthtones mainly. Mossy green, burnt orange- ambers, deep scarlett reds, rich browns, scuffed up golds. Just recently I began wearing clothes that are not mostly black. I just thought I'd venture out.

We had our sixth night of the bible study tonight. More on that later.

I've been drooling over this man's art for the past few hours www.nicklong-fineart.com
Look at the aesthetics in his work. Breathtaking.

I miss being covered head to toe in charcoal and working diligently on my next project. I miss the smell of graphite when you rub it really hard on the canvas. I feel like a chunk of my soul has fallen to the ground on a busy sidewalk and I am trying desperately to grab hold of it but it is being stepped on and kicked around...I need some art in my life...I can't breathe.
