Back To Basics.

So I think to ease my mind a little I'm going to start a painting. One of my goals is to use up one of the bigger canvases I bought while I was at school so why not kill two birds with one stone? I'm not exactly feeling terribly creative, though. A few friends now have brought the artist Alex Grey to my attention and I'm kind of motivated to do a piece in a style similar to his. I certainly couldn't do anything as detailed or as complex as his, but I love the sort of surreal and trippy feel to all of his pieces. So perhaps. I'm not too sure. All I know is I need to shut down my mind for awhile.
