The second image was the first completed. I was trying to do continue with my "What's New" series but wasn't loving it. Cindy Lauper's new album was on and I scribbled "don't cry no more" on the bottom with water soluble crayon and smeared it. I need to write a new biography, etc. and was advised to talk about why I paint. So I'm wondering, why did I paint this painting? Don't know...it looked neat?
So back to kindergarten, I painted a horse because that's one of the few things I enjoyed drawing but stopped because I hated how stiff I made them. Well, my figure is still pretty stiff but now I know that I have to do this a few thousand times before I get any good at it. Now my critical voice is complaining about how trivial my writing is so I'm going to go drown it in junky television. I'm glad I did these two paintings, worth while in and of themselves or not, they are two steps in the direction I want to go.
I like this Kat! It's always good to shake it up.
