I would like the 'dogs' to be freer and looser and they are starting to loose those qualities. Will have to 'think' on this and try something different tomorrow......
Nice to know that Gus can come in from a wild carefree sloppy run in mucky weather (The Start) and clean up so well ('Gus')!
ReplyDeleteAgain, mesmerized by process and so grateful to you for sharing it.
Eager to see what tomorrow brings, since Gus already looks appealingly free and impressionistic to me.
As always Dotty, you leave me speechless with your way with words! I like Gus too - but would have wished for a bit more freedom - will just have to do another and another and....take care and have a wonderful day!
DeleteReally love that start! It has character in its sloppiness!I don't find Gus tight in any way. Where did those warm tones disappear!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol - yes...where did those warm tones go - a bit too heavy handed I'm afraid. And darn-it, that little voice in my head kept telling me to 'stop'! Next time I will listen to that voice.
DeleteI can see how they are tightening a bit, but I still really love Gus. ;) I do miss those warm tones you had in the beginning, but just like my vase, sometimes you have to lose good things, to get to something better.
ReplyDeleteI think you are on a roll, as always ;) Love that you are sharing process shots, and that you are striving to learn something new :)
As I said to Carol - as I was painting there was that voice - and I knew I should listen but I didn't. Trying to sort through the 'noise' when painting is hard - especially when trying to decide the positive from negative. Thanks as always for your wonderful support Sheila!!
