I realized with my last
posting, Changes In
Life, was kind of
ambiguous, so I guess
I better clarify where I
was going with that. I
have been doing quite
a bit of thinking of my
artistic path. Seems
I lost my way a bit
ago. Ever happened
to you?
After much soul
searching and
evaluating, I decided
to make some changes.
First I will be posting and focalizing on larger pastel pieces. Secondly, I will be writing on personal artistic influences, thought processing,
unique techniques and mediums, with interspersing of prose.
I know many have been following my little sweet treats and Donut
War, while others have enjoyed my petite sunsets, so am sorry if I
disappoint anyone. I can assure you there will be postings of petite
pastels, but as preludes and sketches to larger pieces.
Also there will be explanations of my more controversial art, i.e. the
deconstructed art, as well as new art form where I merge figurative
with animals in a mixed medium format on wooden cradled panels.
So hopefully this will pique your interest and come along for the ride.
Stay tuned and let's play together!
Susan, I look forward to seeing the larger pastels especially! The figurative with animals sounds fantastic too... I too am trying to work bigger, but find myself juggling other stuff at the same time. It's a balance act keeping your creative juices going, bills paid and sanity at the same time!!
ReplyDeleteHI Susan,
ReplyDeleteThis is great news cuz we need to constantly explore our creativity and that equates to change!
So, I thought this was appropriate for you:
"The progression of a painter's work,
as it travels in time from point to point,
will be towards clarity; toward the
elimination of all obstacles
between the painter and the idea,
between the idea and the observer."
– Mark Rothko, 1952
Anxious to follow your newest adventure.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Susan. I think the little pieces have their purpose, but artists should continue to paint large as well. Nothing feels better than grabbing that huge brush and swatting that canvas with all you've got! I look forward to the new creativity that shows up here. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteSusan, this is going to be fantastic for you! I am excited for you and excited to see your future work.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for your comments and support here. Think many will be surprised with what I actually do over here when playing.
ReplyDeleteAnd Brenda Rothko's verse is so inspiring! Used to see all of his work when I lived in Houston - an artist definitely before his time.
I am inspired by your thoughts along your journey. I have never read the Rothko quote before...brilliantly stated. So I say go create. I am grateful to be the observer.
ReplyDeleteChange requires courage; kudos to you!
