A Cup of Tangerine 5x5 oil on wood panel


I read so many blogs discussing the problems that face the artist in creating a painting, and how they solve them. Although I taught art in the public school system for years, I find it embarrassing to talk about my own process. I think I am too timid and insecure to lay it on the line. I am only able to discuss politics, spirituality, sex and art in a private conversation, so my blog is just about the objects in the painting. I just do not reveal myself easily. That is not so much anti-social as it is for focus. Besides, I have never been too sure of my ability, only that I have a relentless compulsion to do it. E-mail me at artistjohnwlong@live.com
