getting back into the swing

as usual my timing is impeccable. we are all nearing holidays but I have decided that now is the time for me to get back into art so now im trying to draw a little everyday and have started painting again - but that's mainly on Saturdays. also doing allot of research into the great artists of old on the net. mostly the nine old men and then some other greats from the Warner studios and also some current greats. soon I will add link to some amazing sites for all of you interested in animation and character drawing/ acting.

anyway I started a new painting last week that is starting to get quite interesting.
its a very expressionistic piece of work, reflecting on the recent past. I have just come through a very dark and depressing time. I wanted to capture it.
its a grotesque figure study. i did not have a model. it basically grew from a rough gesture sketch.

i will post a picture of it as soon as possible, but for now i have a very inspirational image by an artist called Egon Schiele. enjoy
