As usual I can't just paint something and leave it alone. I have decided to take pictures of the evolution some of my paintings. My eldest daughter is still made at me for painting over one of my paintings years ago but I just couldn't help myself. There is a drive in me to take the painting to another level and it is unstoppable. So having said that I am really loving the works of Flora Bowley and I can't wait for her book "Brave Intuitive painting- let go be bold and unfold" so this next painting has developed into what my interpretation of her work is. So moving forward, I will do the photos b/4 I go in and make changes to my paintings.
So here is the painting that has now been reworked several times. My process was keeping some of the original colors and shapes from the first painting and slowly removing parts that were too busy.
This is the final version....or so I think....we'll have to wait and see if it gets the final coat of varnish.
Colour explosion 18 x 14, acrylic $125.00
Now I started another painting with my airbrush yesterday....just letting go like Flora tells me to. I am not really liking the colors yet but I will mucky muck it a bit and see where it goes. I will add some details to the background and play with the leaves and give it some weight. I will be adding gesso to the areas that I feel need rework and then play around with some of the colours adding layers.
