So I imagine this will be a process where I'll meet somewhere in the middle as I work it out :) I'm looking at the book, Wondrous Strange, now - on NC, Andrew and Jamie Wyeth. Talk about some disturbing paintings! hahaRH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-40707742363758362092008-11-19T11:10:00.000-05:002008-11-19T11:10:00.000-05:00I like it Rhonda, but remember you can paint prett...I like it Rhonda, but remember you can paint pretty paintings and they can still have meaning. <BR/><BR/>thanks for the idea about the notebook, I have small slips of paper on my wall.<BR/><BR/>loving the Wyeth book, I got two of them by the same author one skinny and one huge.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754977794843612673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-85896803527766669212008-11-19T09:35:00.000-05:002008-11-19T09:35:00.000-05:00Rhonda, good changes on the yupo painting.

Disturbing, even though not always pleasant, is good as it makes us think/react. I like the direction you are going.Ann Bucknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08549669918916059105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-40557482852989230412008-11-19T08:43:00.000-05:002008-11-19T08:43:00.000-05:00Sorry, Teresa, I didn't intend to change the yupo ...Sorry, Teresa, I didn't intend to change the yupo version that much - just kept fiddling and you know you just can't fiddle with yupo without changing the whole thing along the way!<BR/>I've started on the 300# and it's working well because I'm prewetting areas as I go.

Can't wait to see more steps, and just for the record, I agree 110% with what you said, let the painting speak, tell a story, move the viewer in some way; disturbing? that's a winner in my books! go for itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
