One thing I've really allowed myself to do more this year is to change my mind in my work. By that I mean, sometimes I'll start a painting...get pretty far and realize it's not working. I used to try to force it, re-work it, cry & pray over it....well....no more. Now don't get me wrong, I still cry, re-work, and re-do. :-) However, once I decide, it's not working, I put it away for a while. If when I get it back out, I'm not re-energized to work on it, I let it go. Just had one the other day. Some foliage from one of my rambles about the farm. 36 x 36 inch canvas and I just painted over it. I'm doing more of this because I felt like I was wasting time on paintings, that weren't "working" so to speak.
I've ordered stretchers for the Hollyhock from my last post and can't wait to dive in on that one. I've got a couple more large ones started as well. I'll share them later.
For this or other little paintings that I have up for auction on ebay, just click on the link at the above right.
