Random Quote

In my own experience, nothing is harder for the developing writer than overcoming his anxiety that he is fooling himself and cheating or embarrassing his family and friends. To most people, even those who don't read much, there is something special and vaguely magical about writing, and it is not easy for them to believe that someone they know - someone quite ordinary in many respects - can really do it.
-- John Gardner

Direction

 

This is starting to move in the direction I want it to move, particularly the left, front petal that is purple-red-yellow.

A few things made the difference.

  • A solid line sketch in pencil of the flower.
  • Reducing my palette to only four colors: cadmium red medium, cadmium yellow medium, dioxazine purple, and titanium white.
  • Listening to New Order.
I'm cool with this one. I'll rework the areas I don't like and finish this tomorrow.

I agree.

I couldn't be specific, but something about your style evokes some of the same "feel" I get when I look at some of Georges Rouault's works.
