The New Struggle with the Painting Process

Dear Imaginary Friends,

Now that my home painting commission is done, I am back at work on another unfinished project, a painting that has gone through many torturous changes. The next thing that I plan to change is the perspective on this table. It just looks all wrong to me.

On the plus side, I like the composition, and the color harmonies, although perhaps my pink is too bright.
I will keep you posted! To see a previous permutation, check my blog of August 25: In Flux: Betwixt and Between.
Change is good! (Mostly)

Your busy painter,
Patsie

In Flux: Betwixt and Between

Unfinished

Dear Imaginary Friends,

This painting of an apple branch was begun a week and a half ago, and this Wednesday, I added the lemon compote to the upper right hand corner. It was looking a little empty and a little boring. Every painting needs to involve the viewer with more than one focus of interest.
And now that I have started editing it, I wonder if it needs more. Perhaps a pitcher to replace the left hand draped box?
Still pondering!

Your imaginary ruminator,
Patsie
