| New Painting Poll! |
| 03.08.05 (9:25 pm) [edit] |
 Well, I guess the Shag influence has gotten to me. Either that or I figured out about half way through my last painting full of reds and yellows that that it had no practical purpose in my future life (and I don't foresee anyone buying it) filled with navy blues, lime greens, and possibly a few turquoises. My teacher is probably going to hate my next painting if I do it exactly the way he probably wants it. I was told I should not do a painting with this photo in it because it was "too pretty" (exact words):  I'm not quite sure what that means. I'm also not quite sure why we have to copy the collage/juxtaposed style of this Rosenquist guy. Somewhere in all this is a rant about making artwork other people like, and you can sell even when you stop liking it, making artwork you like, but can't sell, or, as I am beginning to feel with this class, making artwork neither for your audience/consumers or yourself. This is the part where I start to get frustrated, as my dad will tell you, because a teacher will say, "Red, Blue and Yellow" and I will say, "I don't like red blue and yellow, how about magenta, midnight, and golden rod?" "No, red, blue and yellow." "How about crimson, cyan, and chartreuse?" I don't know why I am that way. And in this case I am rather resistant to being abstract. Incidentally, this is an example of the teacher's art:  Anyway, I want a painting to go in my future home. And these will probably be too pretty/coherant/obvious. I don't see why it should matter what image we paint as long as it is painted well. So, aside from these being not of the best Photoshopping quality ever, what do we think of these compiled images:    Which of these is the easiest to look at? Which isn't the most disturbing? Which would you pick to hang over your mantle/headboard? That is pretty much the point of all this. I should have been drawing. Doing PBS tomorrow.

I like #2(?) The one with the sky that's still blue but more abstract.

but i llike the first one the best cause the sky isn't blue and it doesn't distract from the rest of the composition
