I thought I would try a couple more. Actually, there was a pig as well that I attempted before a trip. Alack and alas, I was far too distracted with details....tried to hurry....and, as we all know, ART can never be hurried! Creative minds yearn for novelty...that is what keeps our engagement so focused. Yet, there is nothing like the first attempt into the unknown, where disaster is at our heels each minute, to make the experience explosive. I read somewhere sometime, that the death of all art forms comes from over-ornamentation...it becomes too perfect, too polished. I am satisfied for now and will come home to my paintings with renewed energy.
My current read:
Rapt: Attention and the Focused Life by Winifred Gallagher. Wonderful!
