diary paintings 1&2

trying to get used to this being my online sketchbook. So i thought i would post these even though they are not really "done" and because they will most likely change. they are "diary paintings"... kinda more for letting some things out and to get the brush moving a bit. they have already taken on several other lives in layers beneath these, and may continue to do so.

I've been away from painting for awhile and am sketching and starting work again. It's taken a bit to jump back in... more like sticking a toe in, and then a foot... my own silly blocks and fears popping up along the way. But i am getting more loose with it daily. Thinking/feeling what and how i want to paint. more on that later...
