Its been almost 2 weeks since my last post. I managed to finish (I think?) this one for the Civic Arts show. This is a 6x8 acrylic on cradled wood panel. I think I have been channeling
Lisa Daria. She does wonderful expressive floral paintings. I do like the abstract quality on this and I feel like if I worked on it more, I would dilute some the energy it has. Any thoughts out there?
Just like being a parent of a grown child...let the painting go off of the "parental brush" and let your "little darlin" be...
ReplyDeleteA famous writer once said about the editing process "you have to murder your little darlings". I hate the word murder but he means..leave it alone.
Very nice, Kaethe, and it looks done to me. Definitely "Lisa Daria-esque"! I love the delicate pastel palette. Very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Yes, knowing when to stop is the hardest part. It's perfect as it is, fresh and vibrant.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. I needed confirmation that I was finished!
