So here we are at week number 4, HOLY COW. I've just painting away on my huge wall of linen here, and I am pretty pleased with how things are going. Right now I'm trying to decide what direction I'm taking as far as the right side of the painting. I've started painting less from photographs and more from distinct memory. For example, my dad's shirt, canning tomatoes, the satin ribbons of my ballet slippers. I'm adding smaller fractions of memories into these two large ones of myself.
One thing I'm working on is knowing when to stop adding and just completing. I tend to jam things together one after another and sometimes create things that are too cluttered.
However, I'm liking where I'm going with this so far, and can't wait to get back in the studio.
