blue vase and green apples

Wow. Maybe I should take a week off from painting more often. Just finished this 8 x10" piece. Pretty happy with it. Since I am pretty new at this photographing my work thing....do you fellow artists find yourself going back and correcting things in your painting after you photograph it? It is amazing to me how many things I see in a photo that I don't see in the painting. I go back and forth multiple times after I take a picture of it. I will probably tweak a few things on this one tomorrow.

  4. Lovely...has a real "Qiang" look. Didn't we all learn a lot in his class! Strange, isn't it, how we see things differently in a photo..have heard lots of other artists say the same thing, and it certainly holds true for me as well. Thank goodness for digital cameras. Checking the reverse in a mirror will do the same thing.

  6. I just love both the composition and the colors on this piece, Carol. It is simply lovely. I find the errors after I post them on my blog. Talk about embarrassing!
