This is excellent advice and I feel a painting spree coming on : ) Meanwhile here are a couple of small paintings that I finished this week…
As much as I love black canvases, they can be tricky to photograph ~ ‘Night Garden’ has gold and silver highlights and a texture that makes it look wonderfully 3D in certain lights and ‘Hearts of Gold’ has gold lines that accidentally (or not) ended up looking like hearts ~ both paintings catch the light in ways that a single picture can’t really show.

I like your coneflowers. They ring true for me, better than a photo. I think that maybe you have reached inside the flower and found who it is.
What a lovely thing to say : ) Thank you very much. We explore, we discover and, on our best days, we reveal a little of what we have found to others.
I do photography, sculpture and poetry. My photography starts out as found art. I try to make my works true for me. (Say and show what I think.)
I like your cone flowers (Echinacea) in a way similar to Picasso’s bull. He looked inside the bull and saw who the bull was, and painted it: a curvy black line that showed a bull.
You didn’t go as far with the coneflowers, but you did the same thing, your way.
🙂
Keep painting, Anna! Take care! 🙂
Thanks, Fabio : ) Yes, I will keep painting!
Have a great weekend! 🙂
These are really nice. I can relate to issue photographing paintings. I don’t use black grounded canvas but have that experience with certain paintings and I think it has to do with the palette of colors. Some are just easier for the camera to render well.
I like the quote by Warhol and agree. However, I think it’s helpful to not really care what other people think about the art. What matters is what the artist feels in creating the work.
Love Night Garden. The texture and atmosphere are excellent.
That’s a good quote from Andy Warhol too.
