Working on a current painting, I am always aware that I do not have as much control over the results as I would like to have.
Jewelry projects do not have the kind of mysterious variables that painting has for me.
Mixing just the right color, choosing the best brush for the right stroke, capturing the emotional atmosphere that I intuitively know I want.
I'm at a level of skill (or lack thereof) where sometimes the magic happens and sometimes it does not.
My current effort-
First Session
Second Session
Third Session
Parts of the painting have improved, and other parts?.....not so much.
This piece is asking for at least one more session to try to find the magic.
There's so much I want to try with jewelry supplies....but every time I see your paintings, I want to get my paints out!
ReplyDeleteI like where this is going.
Thanks Lela. I choose to dedicate one evening a week to painting, otherwise my jewelry workbench is always calling for me. I hope you get your paints out soon!
