I titled this post "The Beginning..." because due to previous works this year, I came home and was looking for a solution to a few working issues in my painting process.  Leaving the spring semester of my sophomore year in undergrad, I though that what I was doing was the right thing.  It was almost enlightening thinking that this new technique that I discovered was gaining some good review.  I placed in an emerging artist showcase in painting and got a 4.0 in my classes, but something was still missing.  The QUALITY was not there but the work ethic was.  Using clay (slip) mixed with acrylic was just not working......so here is to Reinvention, something that every artist [I believe] must face.
