Just because a plan has not worked in the past does not mean it will work in the future. It is good to revisit ideas that were terrible in the past and see how they might look now. Everything working is pretty much about timing. So your timing was off before; it might be just perfect now. That is why fashion comes back and back at different times. What was old is now new and fresh.
People love new looks and even crave them. We get bored doing what we already know how to do, but sometimes we are bored and don’t know it. If it is successful we think well this is the right way to do things. Life is way too short to do things “the right way” all time. New and wonderful things have been discovered by doing it totally wrong. My entire painting style was born by doing something wrong. I think it is time to do something wrong again.
I am a Northwest artist who is fascinated by faces and people. I work with a brush drawing of a face or human figure. Then I apply ink, paint and gel in various layers to create rich colors and textures. Along the way my images are painted, scrubbed, rinsed off, then ink and paint are reapplied until the final image is finally revealed. The process of discovering who the figures will become keeps me "intrigued and absorbed."
