My journey through colored dust

As January of this new year begins so does a new feeling of change. Where do I go from here? This year feels different. Not really knowing why? In context, our figure drawing group is planning a group show. Figure in Relationship. Thoughts are being pondered. The challenge was put out there of it being BIG. So this piece is 3ftx4ft. I'm going with it even if it was supposed to be 4ftx5ft. A practice run so to speak. In order to do something this large I needed to revert back to my Acrylic days, so long ago. The struggle of remembering how this stuff went on canvas. The struggle of story and memory. Moving through heritage photos of my life, my namesake. It has been a thought provoking month. I have a new canvas of 4ftx5ft and my plan is something a bit more uplifting. Stay tuned. Slowly I am eking out my story. Perhaps this is what art is all about. Forget the technique. Find the story. This may be the year of searching for the concepts? Or just another year of searching?
Because of the size of this piece I could not work it in pastel. Well I suppose I could figure out a way of doing so, and would love to try. I didn't want to be struggling with glass/protection for the piece. Perhaps the next will utilize some multimedia representation. Now I need to come up with an artists' statement. Symbolic representation and perhaps meaning. Or maybe just let the viewer figure it out?
​A new year. Bring it on.
