progress as of May 27, 2009
To those of you who are artists and/or the creative types and anyone else, I pose this question to you.
Can you see what I am seeing and where this painting will be going? Can you hear Venice speaking to you yet?
Today I really felt the painting speak to me. I have been working on trying to resolve the left side of the canvas, working on this fog, cloud thingy that is still floating on top of the canvas. I am not as much concerned with this looking like “whisps” of cloud flowing over the landscape as I am the feel of this mass of colour, texture and tone.
Today the canvas spoke to me .Today I heard what it has been desiring to tell me and has been craving for me to do. I had originally wanted to create a painting that felt like Venice on a cloudy overcast day. The blues, greens and greys of a misty morning walk. Today the painting told me that is only one part of Venice. Please, please don’t forget the bold and vivid colours of Venice, when you walk the streets, the store windows, the glass, the Carnival and the excitement and the true passion of Venice.
I am almost ready to begin the next half (right) of the painting.
