We're Back! About three months ago, Laine and I were having end of summer pints discussing our commitment to our work. It seemed silly that we stopped our weekly posts and so the decision was made to bring it back to life.
I am 24 sits into this painting at the moment. The details are staggering. The faucet knobs pictured below illustrate my process and how I paint and repaint to try to get the work to look the way that I see it in my mind. The left shows the knob with around 5 hours put into it, the right, I can only guess, around 7. What is interesting is that when I took the photo of the one on the left, I felt quite satisfied with it, thinking that it was adequately representational.
But then as I continued with other parts of the painting, my eyes would carry over to it and a gripping dis-satisfaction started to creep in. I started re working and repainting it and I am happy that I did so, because the patterns that have started to appear now in the reflections and the sculpture are so much closer to the way my mind imagines it.
