I live in rural New Brunswick which provides most of the subject matter of my paintings. I have a three-wheeled bicycle with a large basket on the back where I can store my paints, a chair and a table and anything else needed. When I am painting, I am in a world of pure concentration. My goal is to create spontaneous, balanced and authentic works of art with the hope that people who see my art will feel the same kind of pleasure that I do.
Wow, Joyce. I missed you on the day you explained this process. Glad I scrolled down and read your statement. I've seen the paintings that ensued, but was puzzled by the titles. Now I get it!
That's a brave thing to do, just painting right over something that could have been a "possible" keeper. I do the same thing a lot, but usually let them hang around a while first. I would do better just to go ahead and start the next one right then!
