Notes to Myself

One more rejection! This painting also didn't make it into a show I entered. If I want to develop my style and be true to myself, I have to keep at this and not give in to pressure to keep doing what I have done in the past. This painting is one of several I have done that are literally notes to myself. I write my thoughts and then cover up...continuing until I am satisfied it is done.

Rejection

Here is a new painting that I really am satisfied with, but it got rejected from the latest art show I entered. I really can't put too much faith in what is chosen for a show; many times I have not thought I should have won prizes when I did, but it still raises doubts about the artwork when a juror doesn't choose it. I need to rely more on my own feelings.

Another Pallette Knife Flower Painting

I now have three of these 12 x 12" canvas paintings of flowers (non-objective) done with pallette knife. I think they might go together well as a triptych. I still want to do more of these and we will just see where it leads.
