Work Begins...

I've started work on a new series of paintings. I revisited the archive where I found the reference photos for my first paintings, and was disappointed to find very little that I could use. I probably am looking too hard for the perfect image, and to spend hours leafing through photos for nothing is a real drag. I'm hoping to get my hands on old photo albums from friends and family, but until then I'm using imagery from some old high school year books to make smaller studies on paper. Hopefully I can use those studies to make some large paintings on panel or canvas later on. I spent last night in the basement painting and it was great to be back in the studio- hours went by in an instant! I'll try to post a few photos soon...
