Taking a Second Look
Fargo/Moorhead’s snow has mostly melted away from the record highs. Since it’s been such a nice winter, it seems a good time to share my Winter Wool original now that it is complete. After finding the missing photo the sketch was based on, changes were made on the original and it is now different from the beautifully printed Winter Wool Christmas cards. With more time to finish the painting, one sheep was replaced with two plus a few other details.
This is all about listening to your inner voice. To keep my intuition sharp, I respond when little thing haunts me. After dreaming about a painting, some morning I wake up with a positive solution to problems. The changes are usually more about making a piece work rather than perfecting details. In fact, my work is described as loose which part of my enjoyment. I literally love the paint itself and purposefully let my subjects to look painted. In the case of “Winter Wool” it’s a little more public but I followed my heart and feel good about the change.
Sincerely,
