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.

Dreaming

Dreaming fills the gaps in our soul. Allows us to be prophets, fortune tellers, and sages. 

I talked with a friend about the new year and he had no plans, he did not care to have one. It was sad to me. He was happy enough. He did not feel the need to look pass his nose, around the bend or over the hill. I'm not sure when it happen or how it happen but he just stop dreaming.

I dream everyday maybe too much. It makes me smile when thinking of something new to try. How it's going to turn out. What I'm going to learn. The fun to be had. I'm smiling now thinking of the New Year!!! So many possibilities, so many Dreams to come true and so many things to learn.  

Finish some more drawings

Learning so much from each drawing. Can't wait to do more in the new year.

Happy New Year everybody!!!
