At this point I'm ready to start a "Still Life" painting. Drawing and redrawing with my brush, while trying to hold true to it is starting to make my eyes cross. The only thing keeping me sane at this point is periodically stepping back and viewing how things are starting to come together. When I paint, I don't paint objects. Instead, I paint abstract shapes. I don't see a window, flag, building, etc.. until I'm several feet back. So far, so good.Thursday, May 21, 2009
