As an artist the one thing that always wears me out is "composition". I so envy people who can see the finished image clear as day in their mind's eye and then execute that image with zero angst. I am trying to adopt the motto
"not for me the furrowed brow" but I find my brow furrowed enough to plant potatoes some days.
Well in this case it kind of came together nicely I thought and I was happy with it after only 2 days of work (a miracle)!
I had started it a year ago in completely different colors and I was not happy with it and had no idea why. It was hanging in the spare room where I wouldn't see it too often and so the other day in browsing around in there I spotted it and thought "purple/lavender"!
It already had the black background, which I liked so no hassles there. I find working in oil has been really rewarding and so far I am finding it a lot more interesting than acrylics. I guess everything has it's place!
Well off it goes to Ebay! Have a great creative day!
I am glad you are doing art again. Looking good.

It's beautiful Tina, just beautiful! I am the same way - nothing comes all at once for me - dribs and drabs and a bit at a time. I am getting used to it though and have learned to trust it - the right idea comes at the right time!

ReplyDeleteYour comment you left me this morning had me laughing so hard. Thanks for the great idea of marking both ends...only a artist like yourself would of thought of it. Now what color should I use on a old white canvas. lol
