Reset

I've been looking at my body of work in the past couple of years. Seeing my growth, failures and misdirection. I need to reset. I feel like I was a man coming out of the desert and drank too much water. Wanting something I needed but loosing site of what is required to move on. 

There is so much we want to do and learn. We forget we can't do it all at once.  

Photo Real

People say to me "that looks so real" or "that doesn't look real". I never understood why you would say that about someone's art work. If I want it to look like a photograph. I would use a photo. Photographers are trying to capture a moment, steal an emotion or reveal a truth in their image. I try to do the same. I wish I was more successful at it but that is what I aspire to do. Try to make something look real is in the back of my mind.
I guess if people are looking at my work and thinking something doesn't look real then I failed to communicate.
But if people only come to look at art to only compare how realistic something looks. Please go look at a photo. Look at my art the way I intend it to be. A conversation between creator and viewer.
