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.

Jill's Garden



April 11, 2006

Well, I kept my promise to myself to get down to the business of painting the first thing this morning. I blocked in the beginning of "Jill's Garden." The composition seems to work.

I think that I have made a good start. The deep dark background colors are blocked in. I need to see them dry overnight before I start to develop shapes. I want to wait to develop the foreground until I see how the background works with the overall plan of composition.
