I was unhappy with all of the white space which, to me, felt like it was swallowing the vivid colors for which I was aiming. As a result, I re-imagined this piece as a jeweled fragment from a fresco. I'm not yet sure if it feels complete, but I'm trying to avoid "filling in" all of the white so I'm going to let this stand awhile and see if I get some helpful feedback (which, by the way, is ALWAYS greatly appreciated!!)
My passion for art came naturally from both sides of my family tree. However, most of my early inspiration and training came from my father who was gifted in many media. I also acquired a keen interest in history, anthropology, archaeology, and nature from my father. For me, art is a way of exploring the wide and diverse world and expressing myself within it. As a result, I work with a variety of media in a diverse number of styles, often simultaneously. Unfortunately, my curiosity and diverse interests often means that many pieces of art get left incomplete...or that I end up finishing pieces years after I began them. It also means that I have a tendency to dabble in experimental methods, materials, or subjects...
