“Indecision” sounds a lot like “indigestion” which sounds a bit like “indigent” which means “poor enough to need help from others”.
These paintings might be poor enough to need help from others. I can’t decide if they are finished, if there is a way to improve them, or if they just need to be painted over with something else.
Plein air is not my thing. It looks to me like I need to clean the foggy pane of window I’m looking through. You know, along the lines of 1 Corinthians 13:12a. I like your paintings because they are an artistic but accurate representation of the subject you’re painting. But then again, I’m a realist!
Sharon, you and I are realists for sure. My art cleans up reality in a manner that the viewer is unaware. I distill a scene down to the parts that matter most, but never in the severe and simplistic way of plein air. I admire that ability, but don’t always admire the results.
I’m used to your detailed painting. The little details draw me in.
I’m sure the plein air workshop was beneficial – but you have developed a style of your own – which is fabulous!
Thank you, Anne, for your words about my own style. My confidence in this is quite low, which is probably a result of working in solitude for too many years.
