Slowly but surely, and with lots of practice, I am letting loose of old habits and embracing some new techniques for my paintings. I have always painted what I see, but in this case, the pitcher and cup were white and the vase was mostly dark blue. I keep thinking of Chicago local artist/mentor and teacher, Steve Puttrich's saying, "It's a poem, not a police report." I love that idea, and repeat it to myself often when I find myself getting too fussy.
So what do you think?
