I never post on an art piece until I have it completely painted to my satisfaction. This painting process can go smoothly, or it can be filled with problems. The pressure of putting out a blog posting every three days while also painting it would create too much stress. Instead I do all the painting, taking pictures as I go, and only when a piece is done do I write about it on this Folk Art Mary Blog.
Due to the discipline of having to write my blog, I look at pictures of the work in process, learning from the photos as I write about each painting stage. As I said in the previous post, crafting this blog has helped me be a better painter.
When I pasted the photo of Guard Dogs Number 30 into this posting, I said to myself- "Yes, here is the beginning of a bold piece". The dogs are white and in the center, and they really grab your eye.
