In The Works

Did you ever have a painting that was more trouble than it's worth? Well the one on the left is one of those. I've been working on that one off and on for over a year. I think it's 8x10". I keep repainting it. Why don't I throw it out? I thought of stabbing it with a knife last night, but I didn't. I guess I can't accept defeat, yet. Thanks for looking.

Still life

I painted this at a Karen O'Neal workshop at the Woodstock school of art this past summer. She is a wonderful instructor and interesting painter. When we're painting we have to ask ourselves, " Is it warm, or cool - saturated, or neutral? What value is it? During her demos, Karen would name the value of her color, such as value 3, etc. Thanks for coming by. Here's my painting from her workshop last summer, and she is giving a week long workshop in Mexico this coming March.
