JOURNEY'S END
12X36"
oil on linen
SOLD
These are my favorite bugs to paint...I think. So colorful and interesting, standing still and moving at the same time.
Does the end of the canvas represent the End? Do we paint different scenes for ourselves until we finally run out of canvas? And, if so, how big is our brush and what color paint are we using? Do we use broad strokes or lots of single small ones? Does our canvas hang in a museum, a gallery, on someone's wall or does it sit, untouched on our easel?
I love this size canvas, however it is a chore to photograph! We're in talks about a new camera with more mega pixels I think they're called, which should make for higher resolution postings. The copy board is in storage. I need to find a way to make it work though, himself is not at all happy about the cobwebs that have happily taken up residence on it.

ReplyDeleteI just love your bugs!
ReplyDeleteI hope I'm not out of line with this -I didn't see a signature, so hopefully it could be hung vertically? Upside down?
Wheee
Oh, this is great! I love the literal and metaphorical sense of it, "the end"...
