Last week I shared a painting I had reworked until that little voice said "It is done."
This week I tackled another one.
This one never worked for me so decided to give it a coat of gesso and start over.
The flower was still raised in the original gesso so I figured I was stuck with it.
I cannot tell you how many layers of paint are on this. There are a LOT.
It got busier before I quieted it down.
I think I will call this done. The thing I love about this is the center of the flower is
made from a paint "skin" pulled off of my plastic work surface.
I like this better. What do you think?
I also played around with collage this week. I am experimenting and still not comfortable
with the process but I did like this one.
And the best news of all is my very favorite orchid is blooming on the lanai.
It is cattleya, Chocolate Drop and is not only gorgeous but has a wonderful mild scent.
Some more good news, I entered two of my paintings in the local art center show
and both got selected. One of them had not been chosen in a previous show but decided
to see if this judge might like it and they did!
The moral here is never take one person's opinion
as the absolute.
Another side note, the one on the right was
ANOTHER REWORK!
Wishing all a Happy PPF
