| Photo taken from this year's Cruise In |
 |
 |
| Two photos taken several years ago Cars "parked" in a field |
 |
| A distressingly-painted car I liked the photo I took this year, but realized it would be almost impossible to decipher all the shadows and reflections, and their sources. So I decided to wing it, and paint the car as an old timer, rusting happily in a field. Hurray [or "huzzah"] for the concept of artistic license. |

| I took these photos 10 years ago, in a field not too far from home I was reading Carrie Waller's blog post this morning, and found I am not alone in being frustrated with my art. Apparently Carrie is looking for her "style". I found myself so fed up with my art yesterday, I trashed the hibiscus I was working on ... and it felt GOOD! It was a nice photo of a pretty flower with beautiful colors, and that was it. I am trying to find/see some meaning in my work. The portraits I did of John and Steph were received in a lukewarm manner. Steph made the comment that I should stick to graphite or pencil sketches for "people" portraits, if not all portraits. She loved the pencil works, and thought they would probably be more salable as well. So here I am. Any thoughts or grumps gladly received!!! |
