new works in progress for 2011

Trying to keep posting a regular monthly thing. Well we shall see how long that last hopefully through the year. I think I will be putting sketches and work in progress on the blog and more thoughts on art. One thought was on the value of art. I think in todays fast pace world where time is money the idea of spending hours of time on a project for no monetary gain is considered foolish. But think of building a sand castle. You may spend several hours creating this work of art that you cannot take with you, and will not last more than a day, and you can't sell it. So why spend time doing this? Because the experience of doing this is a reward, just creating for the sake of creating. There is a different value system most never think of the value of the experience.
