Working with Color: January 2013
http://johnkarlclaesfineart.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 19, 2013. 2012 oil on panel 17 x 15. Late last year, I was invited to participate in a show of self-portraits. By some strange. Coincidence I had just finished a portrait of myself (something I had not done for years.) Thus inspired, I. Decided to do a small series, and let the gallery decide which one they would want for the exhibition. Staring at myself for hours on end was not a particularly enjoyable experience, but it was interesting to see how each how each one felt. I am an artist.

Working with Color: May 2013
http://johnkarlclaesfineart.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 5, 2013. Ink on paper w/ gouache 22 x 22. I am really enjoying the possibilities of ink and the unique challenges it offers. When I started this series of drawings last year, I was looking for a medium that would 'push back'. I felt that I was getting too comfortable in the way I was working, that nothing was very surprising. I felt like my process was getting a bit predictable. I needed to change things up. But when it does it is amazing. That's why I go to work everyday. I am an artist.
