This painting is the red-headed stepchild. No matter what I do, I cannot make it behave.
In an earlier entry, I thought people might enjoy guessing what it was about. I had thought the central object resembled a wing and wanted to call it "Flight" which I may still do, because it reminded me of the flight of Iccarus (I can't remember if an 's' gets an apostrophe and another 's' or what). Unfortunately, I'm beginning to feel that this painting isn't even getting off the ground. The photo looks better than real life because all my struggles to make something of it are blurred.
I'm feeling more confident in what I'm doing, not in response to any sales, but if I'm going to put my work in front of the viewing public, I may as well do it right.
I think this painting is definitely off the ground. My thought is that it's just not yet finished.. for what that's worth.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Icarus is a significant archetype in my world.. nice to re-visit.
Kathleen, thanks for your input. The photo of this painting in the entry 'An appropriate painting' wasn't finished. But this one is, I'm going to frame it and show it at Bellingham Art Walk June 3rd. I can see where you'd think it isn't finished because some of the paper still shows through. And maybe it isn't finished, though I'm done with it for the time being. I may go back to it later. Thanks for stopping in, it was a real treat.
