I'm still working on some pieces that I thought were completed. Subsequently after snapping some pics and looking at them on the computer it shows something different. I realize now my camera is one of my best tools in judging my work, at least for myself. For some reason I see things I somehow did not when looking at it on my easel. Almost like another set of eyes.
Do you find you have another set of eyes that help you see and if so, in what way.
Here is the latest one and I am finally happy with it, and can see that through my lens.
I can see through my lens that I need to repaint my walls too. Maybe a buttermilk color. I've always had colorful walls but now I think its time to lighten the walls and let the art do the talking.
i love the idea of buttermilk walls! i use a mirror and my camera as a second set of eyes. it's amazing what you can miss not having a different perspective. i love your artwork. it's so colorful and cheery. you have a style all your own!

Thank you Kelly. The Mirror is a great idea. I am amazed at how much I do not know after all these years. But with no formal training there is much to learn.
DeleteI love all of your flower paintings!! And yes, I often think a painting is finished-photograph it and when I see it on the computer find places that need a little tweaking! Are you still working on the series of the blue people-I can't remember the names--they were wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJanet I do have a few more done and a few dolls too. They are kinda personal for me and I've kinda kept them to myself. I will post something about them soon for those of you who found them as facinating as I did. Thanks for asking and so glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteI think buttermilk walls would be very nice and show your wonderful work very well.
