when I sent hanttula a request for words, he sent me this odd list that I wasn't sure what I was going to be able to make out it, but it turns out to be one of my favorite pieces. I love the idea of a sad carnival dog…{who knew a borrowed book {I finally got my own copy} would lead me down this path. that the circus and carnival theme would be one that I am not only attracted to as a painting series, but also in my photography.}
I am going to explore this image & idea a bit more.
I have always loved the whole size relationship, as an element. I think Johanna does it wonderfully…but I hadn't really found the thing that clicked, the idea that sang, a moment that didn't feel forced…and these last two words totally broke through that block for me. I test the 'waters' in the next word as well…
I am so excited I made it half-way…for awhile there I was afraid that I wasn't going to & now I have a slew of words that are going to force me to push my envelope. Finding a schedule has definitely helped. Painting during the day…coming inside to sketch at night when the light begins to go.
Headed south tomorrow for a little friend & beach time.
Have a great weekend.
