Sometimes, we artists say things like "I just got lucky" upon successful completion of a painting. We should give ourselves more credit for the work it took to whip that painting into shape! Is it mere luck when we see an opportunity and seize on it?
My painting "In the Bubble #1" started one way, and finished another--because I saw its potential and refused to give up on it. In one afternoon, I transformed this piece from "potential junk pile fodder" to finished painting.
If you click on each image in the gallery below, you'll see a step by step explanation of my process. Step 5 is the final image of the painting. "In the Bubble #1" is acrylic marbling on paper, 11 x 15".
It's a good art day when I go from thinking “this is not working” to “I think I’ve fixed this!”.
