art giveaway ....

do you remember this post? ... about the candle conundrum?.... the one where i had to do a painting based on a poem .... on a deadline? well i did .... here 'tis ....  
i tried a variety of things to get what i wanted .... and none worked ... so i went with this .... on a background that was just happily waiting for me on my work table .... i think it is good, not great ... but it was well received by the deadline painting group .... my next topic on deadline is fruit ... i think .... now that i'm telling you that it doesn't sound right ... i'll go back and check prior to the deadline, huh?

i am far behind on my posting of my art life .... apparently i am all wrapped up in the unartful life ... and not taking the time to blog ... so ... to get back into the rythm of daily (sans weekends usually) blogging, i am going to try to blog every day for the rest of the week ... so, tu, w, th, f ... i don't even have to do art and i have enough to show you ... so ... this is tuesday ... come back tomorrow too .... 

and just to entice you .... leave a comment, ask a question, any question at all ... and i will randomly choose one non offensive question sender to send out some random artsy goodness to ... that's right ... i have to go to the post office anyway, so i'm going to include this lovely enticement .... we'll see how it goes ... ask away ...

fine print ... make sure that i have a way to email you that you've won so that i can collect your address ... anyone can play ... you don't have to be an artsy reader .... though i think most of my readers are artsy types .... 

thanks for playing ... leave a comment .....

i like it and find it surprising that you chose to have the candle unlit. it makes me curious as to why. or is what i see as wick, the first trail of smoke for a poem about burnt out love?

this painting strikes me as very different from a lot of your paintings...there's a stillness, contemplative quality, where your others have a living hum of energy.

and that cathy, might be why i don't love it ... cause i had trouble with it ... and then kind of settled ... i like what i did ... but it does not strike me as very me ....

and i had the candle unlit .... partly cause when i tried to light it, i needed another color, and didn't love it ... so to stay tonal, unlit ...

am I to late?
I am amazed at how your mind works....have you ever thought up something in your head - then later realized you could not create it the way you invisioned??
