I did a drawing of this grasshopper in my daily drawing series. It was really fun to translate it into
a painting. I worked on it from looking at my initial drawing and it was interesting to translate my
own work into, well, my own work again in a larger format. It was a nice technical piece to get
me away from my recently discovered indecision about what kind of work I want to create. I have
a tendency to overthink my art. Didn't I learn anything from my daily drawing project? When
I did that, I didn't have time to question my work and what I was going to do- I simply did it. With
this bi-monthly project, I've harkened back to the olden days of overthinking and questioning everything I do thats art related. Silly things like: Is this good enough? Will people like it? What
am I doing? Do I have a direction? A theme? Is this art? And so on. I wonder if now that I've just realized this as I've been typing that this will change in the future. I guess that's up to me.
