30x40I am hoping to work on this painting tomorrow, along with another large piece from the People You Know series.
However, and I feel like I should be shouting this out VERY LOUDLY-tomorrow is also the day I officially begin the landscape paintings for a solo show that I have coming up in April at The Harrison Gallery in Williamstown, MA. This is the first time since last July that I have had an exhibition to works towards. Frankly, I am over the moon to have a real live goal again. The self imposed ones just weren't cutting it.
Time to ROCK!
Looking good!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the show. Isn't it both fun and stressful to work towards a show?!?!
Good for you. I hope it goes very well and that you will keep us informed.
Great start on this painting, I really like the enclosure of the chair and the crossed hands and the slight twist to the body. It has a real sense of quiet struggle and introspection. The space she takes up and the background creates interesting "negative" space as well.
ReplyDeleteI wish there were another term for "negative" space, it is so often NOT negative.
Enjoy!!!! And no kidding!
ReplyDeleteself-imposed goals=facebooking a lot?

Enjoy yourself, Tracy! We'll all be anxiously following your progress...
ReplyDeleteThanks Ana, I always thought I didn't really need a specific goal to really get some art made, but turns out I do...So i am glad to have one finally.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maryanne, I might just enjoy this underpainting for a few days longer, I am already worried about how I am going to handle her face and hands.
Thanks Mary! This is gonna be good, I think.
Gary, yes, facebook=fun+procrastination
I like it a lot - just as it is.

ReplyDeleteTracy, this is beautiful. I can't wait to see it finished. The way you paint should be tomorrow right?
