eve blue, 2013, acrylic on canvas, 61cm x 76cm
I feel so scattered. My work is all over the place. I’m creating individual pieces that I like, but I feel stuck. I have no solid plans and no direction. But I sense that one day *something* will dawn on me and I’ll regain some focus. For now, I’ll keep on painting, drawing and posting.
the beginning
then this. i don’t know what this is
starting to take shape. i missed doing my ‘geometrical’ faces so decided to go with that on this portrait
it took me a while to be happy with her face. if it wasn’t her lips, it was her eyes or her nose
coming along but i was very annoyed with the face. i think all my women go through a homely phase
finally she felt right
close up. and guess what…
she has a mole on her lip
Stuck!
Sing softly, your muse will find you.
This picture is plaintive but restful. There is coal-like desperation in her eyes.
