When we started looking at the space, we decided that it needed more work! I had two pieces at the Denver location of Visions West Gallery, so after my vacation in Estes Park last week, I dropped down to Denver and picked them up.
We got home on Monday and I put the two pieces in the studio and then made the fatal mistake of unwrapping them. As I looked at them, I felt that they were not in line with the other work for the show, so I started painting on them again. If you are a painter you understand this whole thing.
Yes there is/was a certain amount of risk involved by messing with two perfectly fine paintings before a show, but I couldn't help myself. As an artist if I am not taking risks then the work gets stale and formulaic. So the two pieces below are reworks...I think they are better paintings!
