Sometimes the painting becomes a large replica of the sketch with a high dose of color and other times the painting surprises the sketch entirely. This one was pretty darn close.
I have been having a great time in my studio. I have one or two dozen panel boards lying around with half started ideas waiting to be brought to life. I've been putting myself in high gear lately because I have a handful of overlapping shows to get ready for. I'm participating with the onehundred group tonight, in the 35x35 show, and a joint show with J. Kirk Richards in April! Could a girl ask for anything more? Don't think so.
Oh man! What a lovely thing! Usually when I make a sketch the actual work ends up looking totally different. It is such a great feeling to have your ideas come to life.
