8 x 10 acrylic on canvas - a work in progress - I'm thinking I just may draw all over it - yikes
Making art breaks us open in ways we could not ever expect,
and in ways that are difficult to explain to others.
It can be both incredibly painful and awesomely exhilarating.
Every painting you make, whether it is a complete disaster
or the best thing you've ever done, is a step in your journey as an artist.

Uh ! Huh ! Right On !! Lisa
& off I go to let Ira tell me again ... have good taste, keep on keepin' on & embrace my suck !!
In this week's assignment composition-I'm combining it with last week's colour (a limited palette of 4 colours) & trying to see if I can marry my recent collage drawings with pure painting.
So please ... don't feel compelled to comment because I commented on your lack of commenting
thumbnail sketches & ideas for this project - bottom right the one I ended up using.
thanks Chez for reminding me of my 2011 anthem
boom boom booom

I'm enjoying seeing what you do with each week's assignments. You've made me laugh with your last comment, and 'embrace your suck' is wonderful. I should make that my mantra!
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicy of subject and colour palette in this one.
I love this Susan.
ReplyDeleteThere is no need to draw all over it! The simplicity and the colours are perfect.
Hope summer is treating you well!
