“Painting in a day/Borbay’s challenge”

August 11th, 2009 by admin

 

I am sure of two things…

1)  Artistic people inspire me.

2)  Talent inspires me.

Last Sunday night Jason Borbay (see blogroll) threw out an idea via facebook and twitter to paint anything by midnight.  Oh… that reminds me….   3)  Creative people inspire me too.

I scrambled to find something, anything to use as a subject to paint.  Bo my brother in law was there, playing his guitar.  See number 2)

 I took some photos as Bo sang out “They say she talks to angels… says they all know her nammmmme…..”

The canvas was big, too big for a day painting?  I decided to stick with the “more is less” mentality, after all, take a photo if you want it real… let me interpret. 

Me: planning out the canvas

Note to myself:

Layer paint on thick, forget the details, use one brush, see what evolves.

Painting and scribbling..

Finally, sit back, anayze (always hate this part of the process)  twirl my hair…is it done?  it has to be, it’s a “painting in a day”  It’s finished… let it go…

Stop analyzing..its done

Stop analyzing..its done

Finished product.
