I've done that and during the painting process (which is all drawing to me), it falls apart as the painting and brush strokes start making their own demands--push and pull, push and pull.

Why is that? Fruit is good for you? Cake is not? We tend to under indulge ourselves with fruit,but over indulge ourselves with sweets. Not me. Chips is me (salt). Perhaps a poignant title is required? I've thought of several: Choose your poison; What'll you have?; The Melon or Cannoli?; Sweet Choices, Hidden Consequences; Sugar Rush...I'll keep thinking.

Poor Dan having to lurch in the shadows watching for an opportunity to swoop in and dash off a post, a comment or two. I'm honored I got one of them.<br /><br />Unfinished has charm and poetry, not always upbeat. My brother in-law painted Girl with the Earring with pastels, just before he checked out (own hand). He never finished--but got far enough into it where it is clearly the Vermeer's girl with the pearl. There's something quite compelling about his unfinished rendition--sort of like his choice not to finish his life. I should ask my sister in-law for it.<br /><br />I have Rain sitting in a corner waiting for my attention, but I'm about to obliterate it. The subject was too poetic for me and the photograph I took was excellent. Honey isn't allowed--nor does he want to--spend any time in my painting room. It's way too creative in there (messy) for him who has nothing on his desk but his laptop. Boring. Out of chaos comes order/albeit art.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-50623623104175301712012-08-03T09:05:04.407-04:002012-08-03T09:05:04.407-04:00Thanks Ev.

It was when I picked up acrylics after a several year absence, only to put acrylics down for several more years. I didn't like it only because it was based on someone else's painting - the composition was not my own. But the style is. My wife has threatened to throw it away several times, but never has. But it looks really cool that way - unfinished. It is in our dining room, leaning against the wall. <br /><br />Man, when was the last time I commented? I think it was before the potato chips that look like cream pie. But I've been reading daily. I snuck into the computer just now because I can't let more posts go by!
