"Coffee Pot Abstract" 6" x 6" |
Coffee Pot Study 7" x 8" |
Just so you know . . . to prove that I haven't really been slacking, here are the two paintings I've been toying with for the past couple days. The jury is still out on them both as far as I'm concerned. I was able to manipulate the paint a little better on "Coffee Pot Abstract" but I think the cropping is a little too severe for my liking. I mean will people even know what the heck it is?! Hence the title. :)
I find the second too muddy. I'm really not that thrilled with it -- especially the wallpaper. I worked on a cold press paper for this one and I think I'd have done better on hot-pressed. For some reason I tend to prefer the slicker papers. Weird.
Anyway . . . I haven't decided what I'm going to do with these two. I'll let you know if I put them up for sale. I don't feel that they're my best work, but then again, someone might really like them, and who am I to tell them what they should or shouldn't like, eh? I think Cary Grant thought that "Arsenic & Old Lace" was his worst performance -- and I simply adore him in that! (of course he could star in just about anything and I'd still adore him.) Aaaahhhh . . . Cary Grant. But I digress . . .
I'm hoping to get out of this funky painting spell, so bare with me. Until then -- keep pluggin'!
Sometimes we are our own worst critics. These paintings are beautiful, white can be really difficult and you've handled the shadows and colors wonderfully. And I love Arsenic and Old Lace too:)
