Pulling compositions together with limited resources ...
“A lot of time I will use whatever size canvas I have in stock, make do. This time I have been trying to think what would really be best for the image and what I want to say about it. Had to bite the bullet. Ordered a number of canvasses from Curry's yesterday.
As I was sketching, trying out different compositions, I got worried that there was a 'sameness' to all my paintings for this show. Forced myself to go back over them, looking for ways to say more about the subjects. Yet again I am limited by my reference material. Searched through archived photos to find missing links. Decided not to include 'Fox Harbour Beach' in the show. I like how it looks and what I was trying to do but don't feel it fits into the theme well enough. Hopefully tomorrow I won't have changed my mind again...”

Yeah, girls, great blog. Of course, you will change your mind tomorrow but that is what it is all about, catching a moment that soon changes.
Will watch it all happen from my seat by the sea.
Hi Norene,
We just put our show up last night. I was worried that my work looked too
varied. My point is, don't worry, all of your work is wonderful!
Barbara
