The past week I have been working on the Art Dictionary containing explanations of terminology used in art. The art dictionary is sorted alphabetically and I am currently busy with the letter 'F" section. At this moment the art dictionary is by no means comprehensive but I will be working on it through out the year and my goal is to make it the most comprehensive art dictionary on the net.
Work on my latest oil painting has been going well. I am currently busy with the second layer of oil paint and I have added some new elements in the painting from the original sketch I did. I decided to bring symbolism into the painting and I feel it really brings something new to the painting. The three symbols I added were a tree without foliage, an empty seed pod and an empty cocoon. These are loaded symbols in themselves and combined with my existing concept I believe they bring new levels of meaning to the painting. In the past I have been reluctant to stray too much from my original idea for a painting and I feel that being able to add new elements so far into a painting is a positive move for me.
