So I think I am pretty close to taking a break with art after I complete a few more pieces, besides school work of course. Painting has become an obsession and religion for me, but I have learned recently it is good to take a step back and take some time off, maybe too learn some new techniques, or to draw inspiration, or not to get to overwhelmed or burnt out. I think the reason why I want to take a little break is because of a combination of all those reasons. I don't want to get too comfortable with the techniques and applications so I can continue to grow and try new things. Secondly I want to find new sources of inspiration, and I think that involves really sitting back and just listening and observing what is around you. And finally I don't want to over work myself to the point that this stops becoming fun for me.
So I am going to finish up this series of paintings and then focus on trying to promote and show them, and hopefully finally sell a few of them. I will be still doing school work and if those works turn out well than I will show them too I guess.
I encourage you to check out www.myspace.com/zacharyhillart and check out the work. And please feel free to comment or write me about everything and anything. Writing these little blogs and talking to people online helps maintain the sanity.
Thanks for reading
Zach
