Ive been making and exhibiting art for decades, and I don't think I've ever been satisfied with a piece. It's the nature of it -- best you can do at the time. But the artist isn't always the best judge, particularly right after finishing a work. Look again in a couple of weeks, and you might like it better.
This is exactly what my teacher says. Walk away and come back. If I think it’s worth saving. I’ll paint over the pots and redo that bit. Otherwise I may just paint over the whole lot.
I love the style. Great choice of subject too but plants are challenging on such a background...getting them to look 3D. I don't think you need to; they suit the style in which you represented the building.

ReplyDeleteThank you. I’ve put it in the too hard basket for now I do like to experiment so I now know not to do it that way again
DeleteI like it as-is but agree, if you step away for awhile youll come back and see it differently.
ReplyDeleteBravo. You're paintings are wonderful
Thank you. It keeps me busy. Especially if I have to re do everything three or four times lol
