Welcome to my new Blog

HI,

I am Adam M. Considine and here we go...

...Welcome to my blog.

"The Aesthetics of Composition in Abstract Oil Painting"

Today is November 5th, 2005, and it is my birthday.  To celebrate, I worked on an oil painting for the last three days straight through.  I completed it several hours ago.  I stared at my new work for several hours just thinking, and I decided to start a blog.

In the next few years we are going to talk about art, my life as an artist, my ideas about what art means to me, and who knows what else.  I honestly have no expectations about where this blog will take me and what I will be interested in over the course of the next five years or more.  I am not even sure that I will continue to blog in five years, but I am sure that I will still be working within the arts in some manner.  I am a frequent flyer of museums, and I will also be writing about what I see and what I like.

As it stands now, I am an out of work artist that is trying to find my own voice in modern art.  Not the first time you have heard that, its not going to be the last.  I tattoo, sculpt, paint in watercolor and oils, screen print, and build custom furniture.  I see myself as a compositionalist, as the composition of an oil painting is my main focus.

So if you are reading this, have no expectations, because I have no idea where this is going to take me.  Albeit, I do hope you enjoy my blog "The Aesthetics of Composition in Abstract Oil Painting."

Thanks for showing an interest in my work...
