Eva, glad you stopped by - and thank you! I'm looking forward to being in these shows with you - and the others.
Steven, my feelings exactly. I learned a lot from these two suggestions and have more lessons to glean from them I'm sure. I'll let that happen slowly though as I'm off on a new tangent now and can't wait.
Hi Mary, Been meaning to comment on this one, but was busy and then out of town for a few days.
Nice piece, especially the selection of the object, Heh. Interesting how the interior is different than the background, but it still is so obviously and empty frame. I wouldn't think doing that would work, but it does here.
Thanks, Tracy - and welcome back. Hope you had a good trip out to Cape Cod.
These two were good for me - they evoked such different responses. Funny Bunny literally burst out onto the canvas while this frame was much more stubborn. It's given me a lot to ponder. The bunny was so personal. Like you, I had a strong connection through my eldest son to that little guy. My memories are what seemed to create the painting. The frame, on the other hand, seemed colder and disconnected - not lesser - but definitely different in feeling and in having its own story to tell. I needed to take the time to listen with this one.
Thats wild.
ReplyDeleteI am just seeing your work for the first time, since we are in that Digging Pit show together. Your work is gorgeous!
