Painting to a Theme
Some artists hate it when there is a theme for a show they want to enter. In fact some won’t bother entering Themed shows at all. I go out of my way sometimes to enter them. It makes you stretch yourself. They make you think. I started this one to enter an upcoming show, but unfortunately this canvas is too large for the guidelines. Here is phase one and phase two. I am trying to take pictures of this one as I move along. I knew from the beginning I wanted to add some real organic elements. We will see where it goes!
These are stunning! I agree, I enjoy themes and prompts, it gets you out of the familiar tropes you’re used to, and get you to try something new. Awesome work!
