Joás Art

As I was working on these lastest paintings it occured to me that I really shouldn't be exclusively doing portraits. The only thing is, I'm so obsessed with hopefully perfecting portrait painting that I SIMPLY get carried away and it takes a while to break that mind set!

So, yesterday I started a still life which I will be posting tomorrow hopefully! I remember it was a still life charcoal drawing that was my first art class lesson many, many years ago. I felt completely overwhelmed by the other more experienced people in the class and half way through the class I felt like running from the room and never returning!! Then all of a sudden my teacher came over and tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Joá, step back from your paper and take a look at what you have so far". "ohhhhh my goodness!! did I do that?" So, still life paintings are something I really love doing as well!

Cheers Joá
