| Grace is..., 12" x 28" Oil on Wood |
This piece started out offensively ugly. I'm not kidding, it was bright blue with some sort of sky and butterfly scene. Yep. Bad, bad, bad. My art professor called it "hokey" during critique, so I painted over the blue oils while they were still wet.
The pieces I’m most intrigued by are those that at one point were complete rubbish…really wrecked. I love to see a work revived and remade into something essentially new. With layers of paint beneath it, the piece has more texture, more depth, more story, and I have more love for it.
rubbish. what a great word.
