And when I say "doing" in relation to art, I mean "creating". Just start. Create what resonates with you. Not what you think will sell, or what your family, friends, fellow artists will like. I'm working on paying more attention to that when I start a new painting or a new series of paintings. It's not easy. When I hear buzzwords like "honesty", "integrity", "authenticity"... I usually go "ugh". But there's truth in those words when creating. It's just tough to be mindful of that all of the time. So right now, including the human element in my work is currently in my creative bucket. Capturing someone's likeness, in that fleeting moment that will never happen again, is what really interests me. This may change after a while. But until then, I have a lot of practicing to do.</div>

These paintings may be available sooner or later, but right now, I think creating is the most important part. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lately, I've become more and more interested in figurative work. And capturing these fleeting moments in peoples lives seems to be growing into a new body of work. For me, there's more of a connection and an intimacy with these paintings when I include the human element. There are still plenty of landscapes and seascapes in the works, but this is speaking pretty loudly right now. More to come!</span></span>Douglas Hooverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10555647129402186380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406004766278389584.post-83324661230650331932016-07-08T15:28:00.000-04:002017-02-09T18:37:43.868-05:00"Want vs Need"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Very happy to say that this season has been the busiest I've seen in a while. New commissions for landscape paintings and charcoal portraits have been on steady rotation for the whole year but jeez... the last few months have been going gangbusters. Is that still a relevant term? Do kids even know what gangbusters mean? Am I showing my age? In between commissions, I've kept my personal inventory of sketches and paintings going plus lining up new shows and exhibits for some exciting new gallery spaces. And I even made time to publish my yearly art calendar... and they're available. Yes, I'm early this year.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok, I'm just going to say that it's been a busy summer! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Commissions, exhibits, new painting ideas, and possible new gallery representation have taken up all of my time (a good thing). Which meant blogger had to take a back seat. I'll do my best to catch up. Here's portrait in charcoal captured from start to finish.</span><br />

I'm very happy to say that my exhibit of urban cityscapes has been held over at a new location! The Urban Impressions show was originally on exhibit at Hutch & Harris during December and January. The show received such a positive response, it was decided to extend the show through March at <a href="http://www.twincitystage.org/">Twin City Stage</a> in Winston-Salem.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now my biggest issue is that I'm going to be spending the rest of February, March and April in front of the easel working on new paintings for upcoming exhibits... due to the fact everything I currently have is spoken for. Not a bad problem for an artist.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stay tuned... new works to come!</div>
