For the longest time I have thought of this day as one of my earliest memories. But I have also wondered if it was really the photograph I remembered.

Deconstruction and transformation. This painting and I have gone through a lot of pain since it’s first posting. It’s been a good week in the studio. #art #painting #artistsoninstagram #artofinstagram #paintings #abstractart #markcastator

“On Taking Small Steps” I love my job. Even when I am struggling. Like now, on my latest painting. I’m stuck. Nothing is working and it is all starting to feel somewhat hopeless. @canyon_castator says that means I must be close to a breakthrough. I hope so. It’s either that or a breakdown. I remind myself that all large projects are just a series of small steps. So I keep making smaller work and trying new stuff. It is 12x12 inches or one square foot. That’s my small step for today. #art #painting #markcastator (at Mark Castator Sculpture)

Working through some new painting ideas and color combinations on the iPad. I found some inspiration from the French painter #georgemathieu. I really like the way he uses space on his canvases. #art #painting #ipad #drawing
