I’m a big believer in unfinished projects. There’s no shame in putting artwork down when inspiration dries up, and just waiting to see what happens. I started these 3 pieces (on pine) 7 years ago. They finally got more attention today. When feeling creative, I don’t always want to start something. It’s nice having a library of projects at various stages, evolving over time
@sarakathleenuk that painting with the misty trees in the last photo is
@moragperkins thank you! I’m really happy with how it turned out
@sarakathleenuk These are great! The way the wood grain plays into that tree is very nice.
I like this mentality. It's also why having lots of different outlets is nice. When one thing becomes too much other brain can take the wheel for awhile.
@SketchyAbstractions thank you - I love working on porous wood because the paint does such beautiful things on its own accord
@sarakathleenuk that's a good way of thinking about it. It's so much easier to work on something when it's already been started.
@Zumbador exactly. It takes a different type of energy to create from scratch, than it does to simply work on something already started. I love having options in all the unfinished pieces.
