4/27/07 Day 8
Here's my drawing for today:
Drawing 7
I am still working in the 6" x 8" format.
Before I could start making art today, I had to select digital images to send to Hopper House Art Center in Nyack, New York, where I'll be in a 3-person show of abstract art this June. I was hoping to have heard from Bob Hogge at Monkdogz by now so I could eliminate his choices from the ones I send to Hopper House. But, alas, I have not heard from him yet, so I just chose four that I didn't think Bob would want, but that I would like to exhibit.
I hate the whole process of selecting art for shows and trying to figure out: a) what the curator/director will like, and b) what visitors to the shows will want to buy. Usually if I'm given a choice, I pick my favorite pieces, but they are often not the favorites of anyone else.
I still like Canvas #4 (see previous post), but have to study it again before I sign it. It came about so strangely and quickly that I don't want to fall in love with it too fast.
After I finished working on the two Improv canvasses today, I realized I had used too much light yellow cadmium and left out orange-yellow. Do I have the energy to go back and put it in now and have to wash my brushes and clean up all over again? If I don't, I will delay the painting another day because this layer has to dry before I can do the next step.
Yes, I go back and add the orange-yellow.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting because I had to give myself time to get ahead in case we travel and I'm not able to post.)
