I am finished! (I'd say this was a total of....mmmm, 23 hours.) Then again, my critic Patrick, hasn't seen the finished product, so there might be a few last finishing touches added if he says some are needed.
A word about it: I came to think of the yellow as a halo around Cassidy's head. I have an unvocalized love for owls, and they show up from time to time in my drawings. Like in the painting I did for Anabelle before she was born. I thought of them as her protectors, watching over her at night while she slept. Wise and still. But I think my favorite part is Gus, the pup.
I feel overall pretty happy to have it done. I'm ready to do something new - start afresh. I'm craving a clean piece of paper and delicate lines. a few blank spaces. I have a thing called horror vacui that I need to work through apparently. It's fear of blank spaces. Which I find really amusing since I hate clutter and I can't stand Stuff.
Ok. I'm clicking "publish post" now. Yikes, scary.
WOW! Beautiful. I love all the intricate details, the patterns and colours. I'm a big fan of artists who like to fill out the page with repetitive forms and shapes. It looks like you really meditated on it during your crafternoons!
ReplyDeleteWell done. I really enjoyed this.
I really like this piece too. The colors are great and I love the pup. So, I totally have a thing for owls too. They have shown up in my life at different times, but always before I receive really good news. Any owl was on my parents front porch the day before I got results for an exam in law school that I did really well on and then I heard an owl the night before I found out that I passed the bar exam. I feel like they are total protectors and a sign of good fortune.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Love Love Love...Katello!! I am loving the deliciousness of the babe's arms and cheeks...but perhaps that has something to do with my love for my own chubby little guy ;). So much love, Rachello
ReplyDeleteMy lovely ladies Khairun, Sarah and Rach,
ReplyDeleteI can't explain to you how much your comments mean to me. Not to get overly sentimental, but to see your support keeps me chuggin'. Thanks for reading and writing. ;)
Besos! Kate
How did you find me? I like so much that you did:)
ReplyDeleteI love this painting. Really. Doesn't it feel so great to realize that 24(ish) hours can mean very little or very very much? I love that.
