| Rhino encaustic 30 x 30 |
Its an exciting day when things come together. I've been really perplexed on a couple of paintings and how to finish them - to bring them to completion. My Rhino friend here has been one of them. She has been hanging around the studio for months - shifting from one place to another... waiting. I really love her - and I wanted to finish her, but the background was really not working. She is one of the paintings that came from Flora Bowley's class back in the fall. Her texture and colors are really perfect for a Rhino and I just couldn't get myself to paint over her and have her become just another layer for something new. There were some close calls - when I felt that maybe those two peaks on her back would make a good start to a landscape - like some sort of mountains in the background. Yet, I couldn't do it - I couldn't paint over her. So she sat... and sat.
Until Friday last week... finally, the background came together after a few tries. I guess it goes to show that the paintings sometimes need to come together on their own.. at their own pace - when they are ready. Also, I couldn't resist sharing some photos from my show - I was so worried about having enough work and really... there is plenty. I've already sold two - YAY!  |
