So sorry about my lack of post on Friday I was hectically getting ready to go out of town for the weekend while getting work done on my car, that I cannot afford, and before I knew it the day was done, I was in rural Massachusetts, without Internet, and had not posted.
But my weekend was lovely. My dear friend recently moved to a farm with her new hubby and they are beginning a farm. T loved the cows and touched one of their goats. I loved getting to catch up and also talk deep with one of my closest friends, along with eat wholesome food including raw milk and home made bread, take a walk for an hour without a sidewalk in view, and simply be out of the city. It revived me as well as reminded me how much I love my own community and life in Brooklyn.
This week the main goal is to finish this piece, it is getting there though I cannot say that I am totally in love with it. Aesthetically the piece is lovely but it is missing the emotional aspect that I want and love in my work. This may come out of the fact that it is a "commissioned" piece, based on a historical piece that I was not too crazy about, and that the deadline was a bit too close for comfort. If I was starting the project now I would do something totally different but for now am hoping to turn the piece around... We will see.
This piece looks beautiful and very interesting as well.
ReplyDeleteI can't notice the missing of the emotional aspect, I guess it is something that you (and maybe only you) can see or feel, but I do feel like I know what you are talking about, I have the similar feeling about this missing aspect when I make commissioned work, and it is something I wonder about each time I have a to create a commissioned work, it is complicate issue for me.
yeah, commissions are always so welcomed but then also so hard for me sometimes. But I feel like the piece is starting to come around a little bit for me. We will see.
