Yes indeedy doody! A finished painting...I think. Ok..yes. Maybe...alright...we will go with yes! At least I think so. OK...final answer - Yes.
You see I always go through this little battle with myself that I have truly pushed each painting to its conclusion. To me it is a fine balance between just right, and overworked! I may get caught up in the moment after a painting session and step back and say "YES! She is alive!" (of course this is with wide eyes and fist and brush in the air and a full exclaimation at the top of my lungs...just like you are imagining) then on the next trip to my studio I walk around it, I stare at it, I sit on a stool and have a chat with it, and next thing I know...I have a brush in my hand and I'm back at it and hours have gone by...so who knows. For now however, regarding "Poetry Pants" I believe I have finished. The fun thing with this painting is that because I have been giving you updates along the way...I found myself with a plethora of tiny little footage clips that I took at various advancement stages of the painting. SO...I have put together a little video for you. Don't judge me by the shaky camera work...as most video was taken after long painting sessions which meant there was probably some alcohol involved and I wasn't the most steady on my feet! That aside, you should be able to see her come together none-the-less! I will be taking some better photography using a better camera so that I can add her to the gallery, so you can get a lookie-loo there too!
In the meantime...enjoy "Poetry Pants" A painting, 36x72 - Mixed Media. While you check it out, I will begin plans to get at the next painting on your list of paintings for me to finish...which is: Keep it clean! I will just need a tiny little break to switch mind sets.
Until next time - Rock ON! and I hope you like the painting!
