© "Zero to 60" |
Sometimes what I see I perceive differently the first time I view it
then later I take a second look interpreting what I see in a new light
and with renewed interest, unlike falling in love instantly, love grows
slower and with greater appreciation. This 30"x 24" acrylic painting
"Zero to 60" hit me that way. I finished it up, looked at it, and was so
discouraged. I felt it was a mess. It sat for 3 days out of sight, then
I took it out to decide- keep? Or scrap. Wait a minute I mused, this
isn't all that bad. This painting has become the favorite of quite a few
folks, my husband included- he requested it not be sold since he wanted
to enjoy it for awhile. I entered it in a show and won one of my first
blue ribbons, how elated I was! I'd had it professionally framed in a
bright vibrant red outer frame with a zingy equally bright inner stack
yellow frame and how great that set off the painting! I am pretty sure
I'm going to enter it in a juried museum show coming up this summer.
It's only been seen publicly a couple of times, it's about time it had a
larger audience. I convinced my husband it was time. It's so bright and
just gorgeous. And to think I was going to shrug it off......
