I stopped painting traditionally for a long time, mostly because the pay check called for it more than anything else. I always loved the act of painting. I tried doing other things, but it never really left my mind.
In the meantime, I started working for MTG and that involved having to do card alters at events and such. It inspired me to break my paints back out.

Moving from small, to big, and then back to small. lt felt good to move paint again.
I
moved to small canvases and then popped out one big one that had been swimming around in my subconscious for a while.

I was working in acrylics and struggling to keep the paint wet and consistent. I got fed up and went out for a big paint sale and got some oils (thanks to Aaron Miller for his
http://oilcolorpalettes.blogspot.com/ for helping me choose the paints).
I took it slow and didn’t commit myself too much to what I was doing, but I had been thinking about it for a while.
