INVEST IN YOUR JUDGEMENTS

Image
By
A study exercise in better discrimination.  Reviewing old paintings that were hopefully examples  "failing forward" :),  I will make a list of everything I can think of that might improve the first version.  When past work has sat in the "oh well" pile for a long enough period of time, bringing it out for close evaluation can be surprising.  What makes it work best for me is doing the study again with a punch list of the things I want to work on.  Like: composition, eye-path, light/dark pattern, focus, color, values…  You get the idea.  Don't just do the mental exercise, invest in your judgements, and paint with a purpose.

Taylor Cutaway by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

By Laurie Justus Pace
Taylor Cut Away by Laurie Pace Sold    Philippians 4:6 - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."    I have not posted here often but will be stopping by. Seems like Texas Artist Barbara Haviland has kept this blog strong.  I will stand in solidarity with her and encourage our other AOT members to join in again.  This Blog was ranked #16 out of the top 80 blogs. My personal one was number #13 in rank.  Texas has some really great artists and I am blessed to be one of them. I know if you see this today, it is really REALLY cold here in Texas.  I am north of the Dallas Ft Worth Metroplex closer to Oklahoma and I am not leaving the house still today!! Stay safe in your journey of today. Praying for all of you that see this blog and read it.  May you be blessed with God's love and great mercy.  Laurie Pace aka Elle Pace WAOW, AOT, OPA Ellepace.com   W...
