Dear reader,
Another postcard-day.
I am so happy now with all the old paintings that I kept in my drawer instead of throwing them away, even though they were absolutely not ‘good enough’ according to my taste.
The fun thing is: paintings can lack composition, some parts can be dull or uninteresting. But if you tear or cut them apart, you can use the most exciting parts, with the best textures, the most beautiful colours, the most interesting line patterns. Then you take them and make a good (or at least better) composition with them.
So there is a good reason to never throw your old colorful paintings away, They can get a second life.
Bye!
Hi Jane and Sheila, great fun to find you here!
You make me want to play and get my hands dirty with colors! đŸ™‚
Then my mission is completed đŸ˜‰ Have fun with your colourful hands!
Hi Dotty! Great to “see” you on Simone’s blog. I’ve been away from my studio for a few weeks, teaching, and then the beginning of my new studio construction, and then the American holiday. This is a great inspiration.
Thanks, Jane! Isn’t it fun to meet each other again?
I recognize this danger! My pile is still growing …
Simone, it’s dangerous to encourage someone such as myself to hang onto to anything—I can never bring myself to toss away anything that might possibly be used creatively in my art! Thanks for sharing your re-creations.
