One year, in 2003, to be exact, I challenged myself to paint roses. In all honesty, I challenged myself to paint BIG roses. I painted the work on a piece of Masonite board that measured 4x4 feet. Have you noticed as we traveled through this Gallery Wall Talk series that I challenge myself quite a bit? My husband says that "it's a good thing". Easy for him to say - he's not the one painting...
One the work was finished, I gave the painting to Dave as a birthday gift that year. We still have it in our possession, however as I write this, it is at a good friends house as we currently do not have the physical space in our apartment to house it here.
The painting has been photographed in its current state, and has been made into different color patterns for material on our computer. In my ever changing process and mind, I'm on the fence about a vision as well as an electric saw in regards to this work. I feel the work would look just as good cut into four smaller paintings. Only time will tell the fate of this particular work.
Until next time,
The Happy Painter,
Jill
