On The Easel
This is what's on my easel this week in the studio. I have been picking at this a bit every day and I think by the end of the week it will probably be done. I've worked over this a lot and started out with big bold shapes and kept it pretty abstract for a long time just working over all with a big brush and big shapes. I'm working from a photo I took, but once again I am changing things up a lot. I even painted on it for one session not even referring to the pic at all to resolve some issues I had--the 'what does the painting need?' issues. On the other painting I've done recently I felt much more sure of what I wanted in them, not so with this one, which I think is good.
