For the past couple of weeks, I had a way of going about painting and I followed that over and over again without thinking. I was too focused on getting results. I admit I was getting a bit bored. I was not excited about painting, it felt like homework. Today, I was able to forget everything and let go. I approached the painting based on how I felt. I didn’t care how the painting would turn out. I was focused on being in the moment and enjoying the process of painting. Painting is exciting again! I was reminded of the total control and the complete freedom that I loved so much about painting. Today is a good day :)
bfhjkei asked: hello dear Eric. i'm not sure if i'm writing this the right way in the right place, but i just wanted to tell you that as a student of the Moscow University of Printing Arts (in book illustration and book design), where the most important thing is character, which is hard to get, i am utterly blown away by your work. i think it's live and very daring (in the best possible sense) and very honest. i truely am surprised and i guess i will be following you! best of luck.

Thanks so much for the kind words Dahlia, I really appreciate it. Best of luck with your studies in printing arts as well:)

My neighbors across the street cut down 2 big trees. Now I get a new view. I was drawing it and half way it started raining :(
tghpdx asked: Great work here keep it up - do you sell if so how and where do I find information

Thank you! Some pieces on my website have a “buy print” option like these: http://ericpaints.it/figure-drawings-8/ and http://ericpaints.it/marsh/

If there’s a specific one you want a print of, let me know and I can enable it. If you want original works, talk to me about it.

Last night’s painting.
Experimenting with pens again :)
A quick speedpainting.
Today I decided to try a different approach to painting from start to finish. It was a fun experiment and I learned a lot. Sorry about the bad quality picture. Cellphone pictures are the best I can do these days.
