Theme of the Week: Painting Subjects

Welcome to Summer! 🌞

Changing your mind about a theme for the week is a good part of the idea as flexibility and creativity are cousins. Music was the planned theme first this week. Why change?

A documentary on YouTube, “Wyeth,” 2018 inspires me to select this week’s theme:  Painting Subjects. 

In art and writing, the high priority is to create what you know. The film set me to exploring how I chose subjects to paint. What do I know?

Flowing with the moment. Clutter comfort turns into a shop of painting subjects, so much to choose from. I would define myself as mainly landscape and abstract artist. Attention to still life will be an interesting path to follow this summer.
