Painting

Trying to channel my energy into a more productive outlet than gossip girl season 5. I haven't painted in a while and so today, I put myself to the simple task of painting from a picture. For my subject matter, I chose a stamp from the collection "Earthscapes" that I mentioned a whiles back.

I thought a blown up stamp would be a good pop art project that'd fit well with my enigmatic collages and Marilyn diptic. I was torn between making the painting an abstraction and adding detail, and ended up doing both and making it look really messy like this. Next time, I'll try to stick with one idea instead of half-heartedly doing both...
