Sunday in the Park
This Sunday is the second art show of the year that the Artists' Guild participates in. Although I have paintings which I can display in the park on Sunday, I wanted to have a new painting to put in the show. Somehow, it felt like the Fourth of July weekend was still weeks away. Then suddenly, I realized that I didn't have very much time to get my painting ready.
I started a painting last week and I thought I had in my mind what I wanted to paint but right from the minute I started to paint, this work took on its own form. This is unusual for me. I usually know my plan and work toward it. I wanted to put a cat in the painting, since people seem to like the cats I do. But this painting refused to have the cat I had in mind.
Instead, it begged for a girl and her dog. This is a very ambitious undertaking for me. I've never tried such a thing before. The painting seems to be coming together. I probably have another day of work on it but I really like what I've done so far. I'll post a photo of it when I've finished it.
