I had a group of artists coming to my house yesterday, and this is the painting I demoed to them. The two persimmons captured most of the attention because I did not have many colors in the rest of the painting. You don't need to have many colors to create the impact. As a matter of fact, isolating color in a small area produces the strongest color power.
You have seen too many of my demo paintings. You know what, I feel a little lost as well and don't know what I should do next. Hiking on my art trail, I need to sit down on a log nearby, wipe the sweat on my forehead, and drink a little water. The persimmons not only have vibrant color for a painter, but also very sweet to a ordinary person. So I am going to enjoy this sweetness now.
I never get tired of your demo paintings! Each one is a new gift for the eyes, a new lesson to be learned. You should try new things if your heart tells you so, but don't give up these hallmark demos.
ReplyDeleteNice post, made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI'll sit with you. : )
I also love your demo paintings, they really are your trademark...I know when I see a Qiang Huang still life!
ReplyDeleteTake time for a breath...you are always welcome to come back to Lancaster!
I love your work, and I will never feel as though I've seen too many of them. I study and learn from them. But you paint what you feel like painting, because it's all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding work....
