On occasion a piece just doesn't have the right feel-- composition, paint handling, whatever. This is an example of a piece that just refused to meet standards.
I think you may be being too hard on yourself, Jason. Granted, this piece doesn't quite "look" like your other works, but I feel it has some real qualities. I'm drawn to the solidity of form and the unusual mirroring effect. Give it some time.
Hi Don! Thanks. I think for me because the piece is divorced from intention, it cant ever be really successful, whether for good or ill. It's not that the piece is so much bad as it is an odd man (woman) out.
I am a Seattle based artist who paints and sketches the world around him. I am primarily a figurative painter (please checkout my website!).
I paint everyday, and my blog showcases the small paintings I work on to sharpen my eye, loosen my brush, and to grow my skills.
