Lemons in Blue
I've been a painting fool of late. My blog and my newsletter have both suffered. As most of you know I'm under the gun to get 60 pieces together for my show in November. The creative juices seem to be flowing and need to make good use of it while it lasts.
Lemons in Blue was painted earlier this summer and framed before I could get a good photo. Actually, if totally honest I was going to throw it away because I didn't think it was good enough. Everyone had a fit so I said "fine, frame it and we will see what happens." Well...guess what, It sold this week and my framer kindly removed it from the frame so I could get this shot.
As any artist, I'm always excited when a piece sells...but at the moment the word 'sold' has a double edge to it. Between now and November, when a piece sells it means I need to paint another to replace it.
The moral of the story...don't judge your art so harshly.
