Roses and Callas
12x9 watercolor on Yupo paper
Artist Note.
It was good to read all the positive
comments on my last post
and I thank you for them.
I agree and do believe that there
may have been more
energy it that version, but once I saw
something
I did not like, I had to make the change.
Culprits... the two
facing callas, left and right,
I thought of "horns" when I finally "saw" them
(see below)
To make the change I became cautious.
I painted some paper I matched with
the general background
color and hovered over the two shapes
to decide which one I would change.
The dominant right one had to go
.
Hats off to clever Sea Dean who
spotted my problem with the first
version. Sea put it this way
" PS I bet it's the clone Callas left and right,
but sometimes these aberrations are what gives
the painting it's quirkiness and prevent the
chocolate box effect.
That's where artistic license comes in.
Excellent - Now I have to figure out
if they are too chocolate boxy
Any thoughts anyone?
