Sorry I have not been
blogging this month.
I have just been buried
in oil paints. Started
Painting Abe and Obama,
lots of dogs and deers.
Ever heard
"you can't see the forest for the trees?"
Sometimes I walk away and come back and wipe out
the whole painting. Now I take a photo and get it
developed. It shows what I am not seeing.
Below I have some new art I am taking 6 to the gallery
but I want to take the better ones. So I need your
critique and choices. It shouldn't take but a minute to pick
a few, it will help me out.
These throw aways save time.
My hands are a mess washing
and cleaning the brushes.
A few years ago my Cousin came up from
NYC and brought me the odorless Turp.
I love it.
I will be hoping you pick a few of the paintings
Thanks so much
Yvonne

Oh my goodness, Yvonne! I didn't know you were such an artist! I love them all, especially the beautiful scenes, the still life and dog portraits. Aren't they just wonderful! A nice way to pass these cold winter months. xx Karen
ReplyDeleteDear, dear Yvonne! I think you are wonderful and brave to ask for outside critique. It's one of the toughest things to receive. But I am not a painter, so I can't even begin to give any critiques. ALl I can do is tell you what I love about all of them. In my opinion, and according to what my eye sees, I love that they are representations, and not exact likenesses. I am not sure what your intention was: an exact likeness or a representation. To me, there is a difference, and I prefer representations. I love them all but #103 is GORGEOUS with the pop of red in the woman's coat and the misty night. Your choice of brighter colors as opposed to muted colors give you a certain style that WORKS for me. So, I basically love all of them and especially the portraits of the real people because your paintings have a delightful and necessary stretch of the face, an exaggeration of the color of the eyes, an almost twisted or slightly distorted shape which to me, is ART. Bravo my friend. But you need to think about what YOU want. Are you reaching for accuracy and proportion or are you searching to create a burning image into the viewer's idea? If it's the latter, I think you are there.
