If you'll read down a couple of posts, you'll see that I use an infant as a metaphor for a work of art. Of course I was relating this to the experiences of a diverse viewership with an art piece. But that metaphor works another way for the artist. We are glad when a piece sells. But this oil on canvas painting of our local Methodist Church (2008, 24"x 20") sold before the paint was good and dry. And as such the photo I have of it is kind of blurry (my camera was on the blitz). Sometimes I like to experience a painting I've done for a while before I let it go. Maybe, after being the artist, I need to impart meaning to the painting as a viewer.
I am familiar with church, and its beautiful setting. It is no wonder the painting sold before the paint was dry, so gorgeous, it is just as it is. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful photo
ReplyDeleteRonnie and I help paint this Church a few years back.
The same Ronnie that you did the painting of.
