My ideas about composition sometimes change mid painting. A lightbulb moment maybe or perhaps putting paint to canvas just shows the initial concept was not all it was cracked up to be. Fresh eyes are also an excellent driver of this creative evolution. Just talking through a painting with another person can spark fresh ideas and push the painting in a new direction. Thank you for your time this morning!
In this painting of Pepe I felt that the triangular shape of the cushion in the foreground was irritating to the eye but it took a wee while to figure out how to solve the problem… Enter ‘Lambchop’, Pepe’s treasured toy. There are still paws to resolve and a way to go but I think the painting is moving in the right direction.
