Yes, I've had paintings like that! Best to do what you said and turn your attention elsewhere for a bit. On the other hand, I think the textured B&W study at top left is very interesting indeed.
What about working from one of those glorious sunflowers you’ve posted on FB? The last one with the sunrise especially had a lot of watercolor potential imo....
The first sketch looks interesting. What is your intention for this painting (or for the series), but particularly for this one? Do you have a clear idea of what you want to express, or bring forth, put across? Keeping that thought/idea up front, might help clear the path forward. I know otherwise it's easy for me to get distracted. Somewhere between on the right track and stuck in a rut.
I would never have known this was the Bream without seeing the title...

ReplyDeleteMaybe as Joni Mitchell has suggested, I need to get myself back to the garden.
