Waiting

Waiting
Oil on Canvas
March 2008

This is a self portrait I've been working on over the month of March. Again, I'm learning more and more when it comes to painting with every one that I dish out. I was pleased with the perspective I used with this one. I guess I wanted to make this one ambiguous in regard to what I'm looking at, what I'm thinking, what I'm feeling. To be honest, I don't really know what was going through my head when choosing this pose. I just want to paint in the exact way that I feel right at the moment. I suppose this one can be explained in that it seems like, lately, I'm always waiting for something. When I can't make up my mind, I'm waiting. That feeling of waiting can finally kick me into gear though. I don't know what lies ahead. But I do know that sitting around waiting for it, worrying and such, that a lot of other great things can really come and go. So, in short, live in the moment, plan for today, and let it flow.
