I read Robert Genn's
"twice weekly" newsletter recently and he addressed artist blocks and helping students out of them. He suggested giving youself a 37 minute time limit to finish a painting. Not an easy task but a great exercise to make you focus and make each stroke count. This was my first exercise. No muddling around. This is painted on an 8 x 8" linen panel.
Love this...strong and true! Great painting and loved the post by Robert...Timely for many of us!!
ReplyDeleteI read it too. Thanks for the reminder to give it a try. Nice job on an 8x8 in a short time. I think it's a good exercise on a regular basis, block or no block. Kinda like Carol Marine's little 10 minute studies.
ReplyDeleteI always admire your ability to paint fast and loose, Carol. You do it so well. Have a wonderful trip to England!
ReplyDeleteI think this is beautiful, Carol. Love the color palette; an overall sense of peace because of that silvery background.
ReplyDeleteA WOW!
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of the prettiest
sunflower paintings that I have seen!!!!!
Thanks!,
ReplyDeleteThe title is perfect, and I love the colors.
ReplyDelete37 minutes?! I couldn't set up in that much time and I think this still life is awesome. Spontaneous brush strokes are beautiful! :)
