I love learning how other artists work, see their process unfold. I love all processes really – I love that show on the Discovery Channel How it’s Made.
What I am learning to do now, besides paint, is learn to enjoy my own process, even though I don’t know what that this completely.
The work of getting the greens right the first time and then redoing it the second time and the third time. Stalling a little initially because I wasn’t sure I would be able to get it right again and yet again, having to tell myself that’s part of the process.
Funny to think this little scrap of paper that caught my eye in the bottom of my paper bin…
Inspired this little version in my journal…
Which made me want to give it a try in a larger version…
(Funny because of the ‘fabulous’ lighting in my ‘studio’ that lower right corner is darker than it is in the painting but I kind of like it. I didn’t notice until I posted it here.)
I am thinking the flowers will look different in the larger version. A little more twisted maybe, not so elegant. I look forward to seeing what it looks like in the end!
