MARCH-MAY/2020: Journal during Covid19: Oil Painting

As I continue with the intuitive exploration my curiosity as an artist and Gemini, seeks new approaches and ideas to keep me inspired. At this time I am experimenting not only with actual mixed media… regarding subliminal images via photo transfers (one method I begin with to trigger an internal response and paint over or leave bits showing) , I am further expanding this exploration with another ‘mixing’. As you will see I am mixing black and white against color, and also mixing styles with my oils. We shall see where this goes. I am excited. Stay tuned as I finish some new pieces and post both here and on instagram.(instagram:ntklass.art)

August 2022 :

I have continued with experimentation. My intuitive art has been a cathartic journey for me through covid. I produced a lot of art during this time. I continue to enjoy incorporating mixed media to my oils including some photo transfers and screen printing to trigger a subliminal response and get a painting started. It’s been really fun. I hope to broaden more into abstract but my illustrative background and interest in the human condition keep my abstract attempts to still reflect the figurative in some way. I am happy to still be excited to step into my studio and produce. Though often tormented by whether something is good enough… and if I should stop or continue with a piece, I am graced with artistic children, (so talented in their own right) who inspire me everyday. ONWARD.
