Blog No. 1, 5-25-2025, My Artistic Struggle

 

I am not a painter that has the ability or the desire to make  simply a realistic rendering of my subject. Rather, I am a designer that tries to use the imagination “what if” instead of “here is a photocopy of…”

​

For example:

1. The actual blue vase

2. The drawing and the beginning of watercolor

3. Smooth going.

4. The Struggle- Should I stop???

5. Keep going into darkness or the rabbit-hole. Did I go too far?

6. Rendering the Solution, with balance and harmony.

7. Finished work with a personal critique.

8. The painting’s setting.
