Cash prize is always welcome, right? Amber....shopping time!
I would want to someday blog about my process a bit, but since I am still so new .. meaning I am out on my own painting for less then a year ... there is just a lot of experimenting going on. What I paint and how I pick the subject a lot is by accident.
Right now I am more thinking about what technique I want to try to experiment on more then the subject matter. Most of the painting now my focus is on manipulating the big color spot, the composition, the form & structure of the object as well as the surface quality of the painting.
I usually start with a photo but ending up usually putting in things from other pictures depend on what the composition need and I would change the color or the lighting to suit how I feel about it.
I do not know if that answer your question but I am afraid right now I really do not think to much about the subject... it more depends on how I feel in a particular day. i then pick up some photo and paint away. But usually I have 3, 5, 10 painting that I started so that probably tell you that I really do not think too much about it before I start.
Part of it is because I think I am still using this period to get milage under me.
But soon I'll be more focus in subject matter because I'll want to try out for a couple of the bigger juried show within the next 3 months. I am now just very vaguely thinking about it and really have no idea what I'll be doing... but I deem this is a good start.
perhaps I'll write about that after 3 months.
I am sorry that I simply typing away answering you instaed of spending more time in thinking about it because I'll be very busy in the next few weeks so i think I better type away or esle I would not be able to reply you. I hope you'll forgive me in this rush reply.
happy painting!
Congrats on the win Amber, that's such a gorgeous piece
