Face #95: Gwen White

100 Faces in 100 Days: Day Ninety Five

4/5/11

Gwen with part of the painting...

She mentioned a recurring theme with artists ... they worry that they are trying too many different media, too many different genres and styles. Gwen paints in watercolor, oil, mixed media and draws. While most of her work is classical, she also creates abstracts. She likes it all. I understand the issue. I love all sorts of subjects and working in different media. Focusing is tough and temporary. Going off on tangents seems constant. (But I have just painted 95 faces in a row...)

Tiredness set in today, I think, and it impaired my painting capabilities. I'm still evaluating Gwen's face ... even after working on it after she left. My photo of Gwen with a part of the painting is evidence the painting and she did not look like a pair. As usual with almost all my-not-so-sure days, Gwen was great. I just couldn't kick quite into gear. (I did skip coffee today ... )
