Al Fresco 6x6 oil on board
There are usually two sides to every story or a couple of ways
to look at the same thing. Painting is like that for me.
It's awesome because I'm on an endless adventure
and there's always more to learn.
So that's exciting and frustrating at the same time!
It's exciting to make progress and frustrating because
I never actually arrive, I'm always
looking forward to the next painting.
The actual act of painting is also a push/pull. I'd like to
say more with less, so it's a game of adding and subtracting.
Did I say too much or not enough?
Sometimes, if I'm really lucky it feel just right!
I feel the same way Bruce, good days and bad days or maybe easy days and harder days! You have had a good day with this one!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret, yes thanks, it was a pretty good day!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to see such a beautiful and sensitive painting, Bruce. The mood and mystery add up to make it a "keeper" It may be hard to part with this one
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, thanks for your compliments! It would be great if someone wanted to give it a good home;)
DeleteI know exactly what you mean about this painting adventure. I think you said just the right amount here. Love this one! The soft light and colors are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy, I appreciate you commenting. I was having a good time so I could have kept going, I had to make myself stop before I ruined it!
DeleteI love how this painting tells an entire story...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, thanks for commenting. I think paintings with figures in them are the best to communicate a story- we can relate better or see ourselves in the setting.
DeleteWonderful painting! You always manage to not just show the story, but make me feel like a part of it. Great job, as always!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool Irina. I'm thinking pasta and Chianti right now when I look at it- wait is it dinner time already?;)
ReplyDeleteBruce, I love how you have made lighting a storyteller. Captivating.
ReplyDeleteHI June, thanks so much I appreciate your comment!
