"By Paths As Yet Untrodden"
Acrylic on Archival Gessobord with 2" Birch Sides, 24" x 24", Ready to hang!
The path to finished painting is always one of curves, mistakes, gems and remedies. It seriously plays out like a giant puzzle. I am persistent with puzzles. Can't stand not to solve them. Just ask my husband. When he loses something, I dive right in and am relentless until it is found. Which is what he is counting on. This works well for the type of painting I do, especially in the style of today's painting. This painting is my usual 12x12" x four. My last post shows you how it began.
I am entering this one in a local juried art show tomorrow, along with two others. This is common practice for artists. There are cash prizes, some better than others, and exposure to another set of the population. It is good to have public feedback, but the artist always needs to keep in mind that the public and the Jurors are just human beings, with their own bias. It is hard not to, but one should never take it personally. I learned that when in one juried show I entered, two dead bird carcasses sitting at a miniature table won Grand Prize. Okay. To each his own. That's the beauty of art, right?!
