oil 10x8 inches
I haven't been knocking out a painting a day, or posting every day for quite a while now. I enjoy the bit larger sizes, taking my time and putting more thought into what I choose to paint. A line from Richard Schmid's book, Alla Prima has been in my mind: "Slow down and savor what you are doing."

Love your Paddington! Brings back memories of my childhood! And I totally relate to what you're going through, regarding slowing down and thinking about what to paint. I'm starting to feel like it isn't enough just to paint to get better, but to also question why I want to paint something...maybe it's just the next step in the process...?

ReplyDeleteKeep exploring your subjects that speak to you, this is certainly a winner! Dynamite painting! The edge work is especially well done.
