Change is a constant.
It goes on in our lives and it goes on in our art.
As I have mentioned before, I love to rework old pieces.
This week I decided to show the changes one of my pieces has undergone.
It all began in an art class doing experimental backgrounds on yupo paper.
We used transparent paint and rubber stamps.
Then we were to add a whimsical floral design with opaque acrylics.
I was OK with it for a while but then added more detail
I was "OK" with this...for a while
And then I changed it completely. And this is how it will stay because it is framed and I can't get at it.
And here it is at the local art center summer show for the next five weeks.
We are working on large, (30" x 40") canvases in our class right now.
They aren't cheap, but I figure I can repaint them several times.
The problem is that they definitely don't store under the bed.
Wishing all a happy PPF

"because it is framed and I can't get at it"..you made me laugh!! I totally get that!! :)
I thoroughly enjoyed observing the different stages your painting went through. It was like seeing a butterfly come out of its chrysalis. Thanks for your recent visit to my blog and Happy PPF!
I really love that background. And the transformation. It's good that you can't get at it ;-)
