I used to think that artists didn't really return to old paintings to re-work them. I was wrong. I have done that on a number of occasions and am doing that right now. Pierre Bonnard, one of my heroes would work on three paintings at a time and turn them to the wall when he wasn't working on them. I cover mine, too. Paintings will drive you crazy if you let them. I don't want to go crazy. I like painting too much. Anyway, years ago I did a painting of a tiger's head and didn't like it at all. I put it away and when I was cleaning some things out I found it and decided to work on it again and it is coming right along! Wild animals can be a a great experience in oil paint! Colors and brushwork flying all over the place!
Tonight as I was making a right onto a gravel driveway in Montgomery County I slowed down so as not to mess up my car with ruts. I still got off the main road in a reasonable amount of time but the car behind me screeched on the gas pedal to let me know what a jerk I was in his opinion. I have to turn into this driveway every Friday so maybe I need a sign on my bumper that says this driveway is full of ruts so I am turning slowly. Give me a break all you creepy tailgators!
I have a large stencil with my Studio advertisement and phone number on the back windshield. When we got home my husband answered the phone and all he heard was a loud, screetching whistle. Maybe that was the guy that was behind me. You think?
