Artistic Concepts by Carolyn

Daily blog of art in progress by Carolyn Needleman with personal comments by the artist. I primarily work in oil, because I enjoy the rich texture and buttery feel of the oil as I paint. You can manipulate oil to create color excitement, drama, mood and texture in a painting. There is a pleasure in creating a work of art from first draft to finished project that excites me and fills my fundamental need to create.

April 26, 2006

April has been a very busy month for art.

I am working on several pieces at once, while waiting for some areas of others to dry.

I took a good hard look at "Jill Garden." I was not happy with the way the work was progressing. I decided to stop work on that piece and re draw the basic idea on another canvas, leaving out much of the background and concentrating on the foreground only. I was able to finish it today and I think that the change makes for a more focused work of art. What do you think?
