Painting in Savannah challenged me to paint subjects of man-made structure. I'm so used to painting organic objects that it definitely came as a challenge. This was my favorite room at the Forsyth Park Home because of the beautiful set of chairs, the awkward loveseat, the enormous mirror with all the swirls I could ever hope for, and the beautiful view of trees and houses through the patio doors and windows. Even with the A/C running, sitting in this room was a breath of fresh air. Quite different from sitting in the front room of a Chicago home, even one as thrifty & tasteful as my own.On another note, I took a stroll around my apartment today. My goal was to get 5 strangers to smile or say hello to me (as most people in Savannah did). Out of 8 strangers, only 2 acknowledged me. It was a little depressing but it really made me think about my body language and trying harder to connect with the world.
Why were there 8 strangers in your apartment? You should be careful This city is definitely not as safe as Savannah
ReplyDeleteI really like how the seat seems to be listening to the mirror frame. Theres a lovely relationship between these objects in the way that you have set them up in the composition and divided the background.
