Paintings have their own life -- we start out painting in one direction and then the painting takes us in another!
And, sometimes, the paintings come back to us -- that is a good time to “re-look” at your work and decide how you can make it better. At the end of a season, I usually request that the galleries send me back the paintings that did not sell so that they have a “fresh” look for the season. You certainly don’t want your collectors to return and see the same paintings still on the wall.
And, now you are looking at your painting with “new” eyes -- certainly you have matured and so has your work!
I put the paintings on the floor in my studio and study them -- for days, sometimes even longer. And, then, when I am ready, I put “new” touches on it -- to make it sparkle and to give it new life!
This is one of those paintings.

Comme c'est étrange!... Hier soir après avoir visité quelques blogs, j'ai pensé à vous. Je m'étonnais de ne plus vous voir... j'ai supposé que vous aviez beaucoup de travail. Et parfois, aussi je me dis que de faire vivre un blog prend beaucoup de notre temps...
ReplyDeleteVous avez fait peau neuve...
je souhaite que cette nouvelle saison qui commence pour vous soit une grande réussite. j'avais eu la chance d'admirer votre travail dans la galerie de Charlie l'an dernier.
gros bisous
