Taking a Break…
I have decided to take a little break from oil/acrylic painting. I plan on concentrating on my two photo projects this fall, and might try to finish my first novel (about a third done right now) during the winter months. I don’t know when I plan on returning to painting in the “grand medium”, hopefully after I have forgotten how to do it. In the meantime, I might entertain myself with some ink and brush exercises like these…

I thought you had been taking a break from painting in favor of photography for a while now. I like both from you . I think its good to mix things up. I am definitely the kind of person who likes new challenges all the time so i try to switch media and projects up all the time.
Hey, why didn’t you title this post “Nude woman with bones” ?
I like the skeleton a lot; nice gesture with the dark washes. I aways forget how much I like drawing with ink and sumi brushes, I should go pick some up.

You are right, Daniel. I have been on a kind of “break” from painting now for a while, I just hadn’t yet formalized it as purposeful until now. I needed to say that I was taking a break, so I’d stop feeling so guilty about it…
