like the ship of theseus…

this painting keeps changing!

I hang paintings crookedly from the walls of the shoebox, so I can figure out how to finish them!

You’ll be amazed how many different ways these paintings can turn out…Much like the Ship of Theseus — is this the same piece OR a new piece?? (Hayden and I pondered this yesterday).

I’ve been working on some of these pieces for a long time, and wouldn’t say any of them are complete JUST yet (soon though, very soon). My goal is to have a set of five or six of these.

come away with me (in progress)
come away with me and details (both in progress)

Before.

After.

I can’t decide if I like it better before or after, but the thing is — this piece started off as a dull, muted landscape (probably two years ago) and adding all of the bright details became confusing. The colors didn’t pop as much, so I decided to brighten the entire piece.

Details..

Which do you prefer? And keep in mind — it’s not quite finished yet — so who knows where it could go!?

    I love the ‘after’ version. The bold lines highlight the more intricate and brighter detailing. I think it needed that.
