Insanity Reigns Supreme
Not just a good motto, but how I feel sometimes. I am continuing the Hern picture and spending hours and hours more on a picture that I know will not be liked by the person I had hope would want it and I am also sure it will end up as just another useless unwanted picture hanging in my house with no reason to be! I have so many unsold pictures as it is that I should stop painting...but Insanity Reigns Supreme, so I paint on! Here is the Hern picture as it was a few hours ago...

What are you talking about Tristan, this picture looks great even unfinished. Some art-loving Pagan will snap it up. There is only one spot that I would change, and that's where his torso is across from his left elbow (that is, to the right of the picture). His waist is a bit too slim for the heroic musculature of the chest, and I would just shade that empty spot between the elbow and the torso so it looks like a bit of his burly back muscle. I like the leaves a lot. I have unwanted pictures around my house too but eventually I find buyers for them or just give them away if I don't care any more. The artist's life!
ReplyDeleteI suspect that he will sell the first time you show him. How we feel about our own piece is not the best predictor of sales.
ReplyDeleteThis is 16 x 20, already has many hours more work than shown here...I will be asking $200 for it when finished. That will be matted and framed!
