When I paint something I usually have one of 3 different reactions.
1. I hate it. It turned out nothing like I wanted and I'm definitely not keeping it. (I'll usually re-work it at some point unless the paper is stained and then I use it for scrap)
I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I'll sleep on it. (Usually these paintings get re-worked OR I start over on the other side of the painting)
ILOVE THIS! WHY CAN'T ALL MY PAINTINGS BE LIKE THIS??
What's funny is that when I've showed people paintings I wasn't thrilled with they usually like them (or they're a bunch of liars) but I just can't bring myself to list something I don't love.
Back to the topic at hand, if you were to ask me which painting is my favorite right now, I would say, "I have 2 and don't make me choose between them."
Mysteries of the Sea - 2022
The first painting I chose is something I painted earlier in 2022. I called it "Mysteries of the Sea". First and foremost, I love the sense of peace it brings me. When I look at it I can almost hear the waves of the ocean crashing on the beach. I also love the vivid colors and how the shades blend together to create a feeling of movement and depth.
Vivid Fluctuations - 2022
The second painting I choose is something that I painted in March. I called it "Vivid Fluctuations". I love painting oceanscapes and waves, but I also love bright rich colors, so I decided to use the same techniques that I used with "Mysteries of the Sea" but with richer and brighter colors. I absolutely love the way this painting turned out. I love that combining 3 colors created so many other colors and shades and the way the gold ink lends a bit of softness to the lines, but the painting is still energetic and full of life.
