New Thoughts


I'm finding that I really want to do a painting of an actual scene- like, something and then there's a piece of mirror or other reflective object and you have this glimpse of another world, kind of thing- because I've just realized that almost all of my pieces focus on the reflective object.


We have this really old rundown shed in my backyard with a dirty mirror in it... That might be fun to do.


And, I'm thinking of doing a painting of a landmark, like the Eiffel Tower maybe?, flipped and messed with colors. Hmm. That actually sounds like alot of fun. :D
