This art year was messy

This year was a really bad for me, in many ways, actually it was quite crap. And it certainly shows in my art. If I compare to past years I have painted the least this year. I also ended my art year with incomplete work which I’m not crazy about, but I guess at least I know what I’m starting with in 2017.

So this one ↑ …. this one was a real failure, it was abandoned. Incomplete and will never be finished. I don’t like it at all, I just hit a wall and it hasn’t been covered in white or black because I haven’t had time. I guess it was a bad choice, I don’t quite know.

And then this one …..

It feels a bit like an unrealistic high expectation. Is it? I don’t know, I hope not. It’s a challenge for sure, it’s going to take long, it’s huge, too many proteas…I don’t know what I was thinking. But I’m looking forward to finishing it.

  1. Great analogy for life. 🙂
    I love the one you ‘abandoned’. The reflection in the water and the colours of the autumn leaves are beautiful. It spoke to me immediately. I really hope you’ll shelve it and return to it one day because I see so much in it and to me it’s a work in progress!

    • thank you Bron, you make me feel a bit more positive. It’s still waiting for something maybe it will be finished one day xoxox, thank you for being kind
