WHEN TO STOP

That's a question I ask myself as I paint or embellish any creation.  How do I know when enough is enough.  Is my enough enough?

This is where I left this painted patchwork for now.   I guess I'll stare at it a bit more, then move on.


I also played with two similar pieces again.  I must say, I can't find a good place to take photos.  The camera rounds the canvases distorting the image and I can't get the colors right. I've cropped the photos down, but was unsuccessful in playing with color correcting and shadows.  Operator troubles, I'm sure. 

SEASCAPE IN AQUA

SEASCAPE IN GREEN

The green version has a dark shadow on the lower right side, but you get the idea.  Both of the seascapes were done completely with a palette knife and layer upon layer of acrylics.


More ideas are floating around and I'm happy for that.  It's a good feeling.


I am hoping to visit the flower fields in close by Carlsbad very soon.  Right now I here there are acres of ranunculus in various stages of bloom.  Can you imagine?  Me neither; I'm hyperventilating.  Might just be my new favorite flower...sorry tulips, poppies and zinnias.  I clearly have a wandering eye.
