TAKING CARE OF OLD BUSINESS
Finished What I Started in 2014. (About time)! It was a long haul interrupted by my own timidness and a few health issues. Seen in this translation, I see a spot of flesh is missing. I won't say where. And I won't be showing you this again. I'm sick of it! I have titled it ironically: A Kodak Moment.
Next on The Easel to finish: Ruby. The dishes and utensils need washing.
PREPPING TO BEGIN AGAIN:
Reference for new Painting has been graphed, canvas is prepared and ready for action--nothing more vigorous than scumbling. Venetian Method it will be. I do like the calmness of working slowly and deliberately. (The stripes in the photo were a gift from my printer, Fritz).
Good to see you on the move again. Great drawings. I shall miss 'Kodak Moments'
ReplyDeleteIt's a strong painting, but not a successful one. I don't think it was Fauve enough. I could not shake off my close relationship with the models enough to completely shake off using natural colors. I do think I did capture the garishness of the photograph I took unthinkingly using a flash. For better or worse, I did get likenesses only a mother could love.
