I am a really impatient and often very rule bound person. I think it's my love of messing around with "finger" painting and collage that saves me from being a real artistic "stiff" This has been a new experience for me - painting without safety lines! I just realized - especially when painting slightly more realistically (and this is as realistic as I get) that the lines make the painting stiff - after all how many animals or people have black lines around them? LOL. Sometimes outlines are good - but I'm finding it freeing to work without them. I will try to post updates as I go along. Helps me to keep a history of my work as well. Thanks so much for visiting - if you like please leave a comment. I love to hear from you. Have a blessed and art filled day!
lovely painting!!! I love woodpeckers!!! they are so amazing and love the amount of noise they make!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana - that was the first time I had ever seen one that close. Some people hate the noise - but I kind of like it.
ReplyDeleteNot many people have black lines....but boy do I love them it's just me...
ReplyDeleteYour woody the pecker is very cool. A few years ago we had one in the trees behind us glorious sound everyday!!

I love them too - I just wanted to leave the whimsical world and try to paint without lines. I love your paintings!!!
DeleteYour woody is awesome. Nice job.:) We have one around here some place. I hear it pecking down the street. :) Have a great weekend and week ahead. Thanks for sharing your great art.
