So yes, I started another one. Good grief! I have about 4 paintings going and none are quite finished yet, but I love having a bunch of paintings in various stages coming alive in the studio. Sometimes the real detail tweaking can get tedious, so it's nice to take a break, paint BIG and then go back to finish things up later on. It also seems like I spend less time that way on the finishing touches. So I just thought I'd share my progress on this one. It's a big one for me -- very fun though. I'll be sure to post when all of them are done and ready to go to shows.
Ha! I see your working habits are very close to mine... ^__~ I have about 7 serious projects and a bunch of smaller ones going on in the studio, not counting landscape studies. I don't know if I can ever finish all of them -- I am not progressing as steadily as you are here. But I totally agree with your observation -- when I get caught in details, I like to start something and do that big, wet, sweeping underpainting stage to loosen up too! It's more fun this way...
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to see all these project finished! I love the playful pattern formed by the strawberries and blueberries in this one.
