I tried to find out something about the model - she's in her off season but trains 10 hours a day and now has her own business setting up sports competitions - did not do justice to her face - it was an oil pastel and I did my best - was more captivated by her skin smooth, perfect body - I tried to convey that -- or maybe it just comes out of the paint.

And here's my experiment - below - painting my life as if it's a homepage.

In case you don't know what this - my life as a Web Analyst where I analyze the success of  websites has been transformed (in this sense) into a page of my own life - a real synthesis.

From an execution point - I learnt something from this experiment.  I need more detail (better mediums as well - perhaps working with Oil again - acrylic is harder to manipulate) and I need, for me, larger canvas and more drawing beforehand.  I did a little.

For a quick check to see how my idea would look, I'm satisfied that I got what I need out of this exercise.   I will do a couple of there before trying to do what I'm seeing in my mind - something much more ambitious.

I don't mind sharing this as it's what the internet is all about and as I give more - I receive more.  I will mention that I felt encourged to try this first experiment in painting my life as a homepage after seeing the paintings of Alfred Jensen as the approach (painting texture, design, overall feel) is much closer to my own way of expressing myself and organizing sensation.  I don't want formulas, and Jensen does that - I don't need the formulas to understand his paintings on an intuitive level - it's the paint texture that I want to adapt to the "homepage" life painting.

Like I said -this was just an experiment ...hell, it's all an experiment - the last thing I want to do is an illustration of the homepage of anything...  That's an idea, again, a synthesis, my path.
