I've been reading articles and looking more at contemporary artists. Illustration combined with the ideas on what it is like living in today's world. There's a lot of metaphors and play with light characters with deeper meaning. I want to continue working with representational but I want to get into the gray area of representational/abstraction.

I want to study structure and continue building planes... but at the same time I want to reach a little bit beyond traditional study and have a slightly modern take. I've been using bright, transparent colors, and playing with layering and building.

I've been painting clothing, because I am getting close to abstraction but I am still grounded in the real world. Art is an illusion but some people will claim reality is an illusion. So right there is interest. I've been playing with clothing and bringing them to a level of an inbetween abstraction and representational painting. That is how my world appears when I am doing laudry at three o'clock in the morning.

I've found another gray area between personal and objective. I don't have an image that is a straight out my reflection, but when I throw a bra onto a laundry hook or pile of clothing, it appears personal yet removed from the artist. It's sad that I have a decent collection of bras by working at a bra store... but I like the feminine touch.
