I wasn't so happy with some of those elements as I was working on the painting (what I had in my mind and what ended up on the paper were different...happens not infrequently with plein air work, I find), so I really appreciate your thoughts. <br /><br />You are probably on to something with the subconscious involvement, too ;).Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-63337199840997014572011-09-03T19:05:05.454-04:002011-09-03T19:05:05.454-04:00Really like the patterns, composition, and color i...Really like the patterns, composition, and color in this one, Sonya. Nice work-reworked. Isn't it funny, if we sort of sneak up on a piece and pretend we've nothing to lose, so why not give it a stab, you didn't even sit or put an apron on... things turn out great. Maybe, it's giving the sub-conscious a little more free-reign that helps.Diane Mannionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924786746616492084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-29526294041919607702011-09-03T16:21:22.250-04:002011-09-03T16:21:22.250-04:00Thanks Liz - it actually looks a bit better in per...Thanks Liz - it actually looks a bit better in person...a bit lighter and warmer. <br /><br />From time to time, I actually like tossing old/bad paintings out, or washing off/repainting surfaces when that's an option. I'm sure I would be horrified to see art that other artists have tossed that I probably would have loved. We are surely our own worst critics, but that's not always a bad thing.Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-52977018656302412862011-09-03T14:48:31.395-04:002011-09-03T14:48:31.395-04:00So glad you didn't toss it!!!
