My New Painting
Finally got around to finishing a painting. It took me a while to get an image in mind that I actually wanted to see to fruition. Not quite sure I'm finished yet, I feel like I want to add something else, another element. EDIT: I've taken the picture down for the moment just because Corey mentioned that I might not be able to enter it in the Arts and Letters competition if it's been shown publically. Once I get a response from the co-ordinator I'll put it back up :)

This image is very unsettling, not only because of the guy in the gas mask, but because of the composition and the colour scheme that feels 'off' to me. I think it works. And that circle helps that dude pop right out. Do some more now.
Well i'm glad I had a chance to see it first.. but i think those rules were in place before blogs were invented. I don't think it probably counts technically. I think they mean in a gallery on a real world wall. It's what I have assumed in the case of other competitions. You could phone and ask, but I don't know if I'd open the door to them making a bad decision. Blogs should be able to show work in process, be informal and spontaneous. I don't like to see restrictions put on them.
Best of luck with it. It is a strong piece from what I remember.
btw It would be nice to have more information on each of the TADA! artists.. not that it makes a difference, but I don't even know if Keating is a man or a woman. It may be a bias, but I'm always happy to see strong work coming from another woman painter. Regardless, I hope to see more in the future.
all the best, jp.
