I am excited to get started on some of the larger paintings that I have just been agonizing over, not being able to work on them yet. I have also been trying to analyze what I am trying to convey in my work. I really want to tell a story. Getting to see the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the DAI was quite a treat. The colors in his fleshtones is incredible. The things that are lost to the viewer when they were reproduced on the cover of Satuday Evening Post.
I don't yearn to do what he did nor do I want to paint just as he did but I am certaily inspired by the beautiful nuances of good clean color I found repeatedly in his work. That is one of my goals...fresher, cleaner colors. Those darn complimentary colors need to leave my brain for awhile!
With today being the last day, I wanted an appropriate title. Salud was a consideration and so was fini but I wanted a little more, so after a little research, here it is....
A la votre fini 5 x 7 oil on panel
Translated in French, meaning...."to the end or finish".............so I make a toast with my margarita........to the FINISH!
May you all find something in your life, today, to make a toast....................Ruth Ann
