PAINTING TIP ..Discover What You Like Best About Your Work!! And re-visit those things!

OK  ...SO WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT YOUR WORK???  HUH???Let that ferment in the ole brain for a bit.

 FOR ME AS AN ARTIST  they are...

1.  The Paint itself !!!!  the physical act of pushing, mixing, stroking and  applying the paint with my brush or palette knife.  Gooping the paint onto my palette gives me a thrill! .. and then linking that feeling with how to translate all that into the idea in my mind.Copy of Copy of DSCN2900

2.  Seeing the Moment..Seizing the Idea !!   when something floats past my "image zone" , my eyes ..and I get that SPARK in my creativity center......Knowing I can make it into a piece of new work and wanting to!

3.  Developing new Artwork Material    sometimes I am overwhelmed bye sheer number of things I want to paint.  I'm like the kid in the candy store..there are so many ideas to paint, it's a delight to pick any one of them. .. below is something I am developing right now.

Which brings me around to say...it's good to re-visit the things you like best about what you do..about  YOUR work.  It helps you stay rooted.
