Progression. Forgot I had filmed the entirety of this painting..i remember what I was thinking during this painting… Several months ago, a person reached out & asked how I come across my creative process & why I paint what I paint. After explaining, they left with a remark that my work is spiritually dark/demonic and I shouldn’t paint them. I never usually ponder on critics statements, but this one stuck out. Something I fell in love with for many years since I started painting was/could be a form of evil? I subconsciously started to build self doubt from that comment & other traumatic events that occurred this year ; I began losing focus in art, doing less n less of it. After decades worth of my art progression,(for those who know me know that’s all I focus on). The moment I felt a sense of clarity with it, somehow effortlessly got torn down quick by those that think art’s only to express a pretty picture. It made me really think, and I’m deeply grateful to I have built my creative experience, to express both sides/polarities of life. Also grateful to begin finding my crowd of artists & audience that appreciate this form of visionary art. Shout out to @morphisart he stumbled upon & liked my works🙏🏽, giving me hope and inspiration that I’m on the right path of what I’m pursuing. My art may not please everyone one, but it sure as heck pleases my crowd, & especially my creative spirit. Become your greatest version. 🎨🎭 . . . . . . . . . #art #artist #painting #artwork #psycedelicart #pyschedelic #visionaryart #portrait #acrlicpainting (at McCarty Mills Taproom) https://www.instagram.com/shreddinkk_/p/CYFKCwtPzsx/?utm_medium=tumblr
