Variety is Good

This term at Splashout we've been given a bit of free reign in our projects with some loose guidelines as to subject matter and choices of entry point.  I actually find this quite challenging as I end up with so many different ideas of what I want to do and how I want to do it I end up getting bamboozled by it all. But this in itself is a great learning curve.   Anyway, out of 4 pieces which we are suppose to get finished (with a possible 5th), I've managed to complete 3 so far.  My 1st one (theme "Industrial") and my 3rd piece finished today (theme "reflections") I'm happy with.  My 2nd piece (theme "figurative") was a disaster - just didn't feel the love when that one was finished, so I've now painted over it.  (You win some, you destroy some haha).  And tomorrow I hope to start on my 4th piece (theme "coastal).  Variety is good - unless you try different genres you just don't know what you may or may not like.  I've really enjoyed doing both the industrial and reflections ones - maybe it has something to do with buildings!  So here is my latest "River Torrens at Night"  $350 (76x76cm)
