I am now thinking of it more kindly as a "growth spurt."<br /><br />I like the orange and blue too. Something very appealing about that combo.<br /><br />Thank you as always for your visit.

I like the version where the smile is upside down. It matches what I was trying to convey or at least what I was thinking.<br /><br />Upside down and all around! Turning the work constantly throughout the process really helps.<br /><br />Thanks as always for your visit and observations:)<br />Libby<br />Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-20596419910673306822016-05-19T13:07:13.435-07:002016-05-19T13:07:13.435-07:00Karen,

I flip the piece throughout the process but it seemed to be more obvious when I did it on the computer. Good stuff.<br /><br />Thanks for the vote of confidence. Funny you mention the word "progression." I did a little analysis of these pieces to see how I started each one. When I saw them in chronological order and noted how I began them, it was easy enough to see an actual progression. We get kind of balled up in our own nonsense don't we?<br /><br />Hey, hope you are doing well! Thank you as always for your visit and your observations. I appreciate it:)<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-31717344888746750782016-05-19T10:41:25.049-07:002016-05-19T10:41:25.049-07:00Dear Libby You may be going through a creative blo...Dear Libby You may be going through a creative block but you would never guess by your art. Loving the color scheme with the orange and blue too. As for things not making sense I certainly understand that too. Well hope you have a creative day.

In the alternate view especially they gave me the feeling of eyes, and because of what was beneath where a mouth might be, I reacted with a feeling that there was an expression of being non-plussed. Once I saw that I looked again at the first view and it was neutral.<br /><br />As an abstract artist I often turn my work around in the first stages of laying in color, just to get clues as to what might spark a next step. I applaud your continued explorations and as always am delighted with how well you convey what your thought process is throughout.

Thank you for your great observations. The...Julie,<br /><br />Thank you for your great observations. They really help!<br /><br />Those two black dots are interesting. I wonder if they are something like a "pivot" point or "focal" point even? I like that the piece can be read in different ways depending on how you turn it. I found one way to be more chaotic and jumbled than the other which was kind of good for the idea that I wanted. It all ends up being interesting to me.<br /><br />I worry about this block too. I think and examine the problem a lot which helps. People have been kind enough to offer different ways of looking at things. I suspect mostly that I am struggling to bring forth this way of working-my ideas and my process; making that happen. I started another piece right after this piece. Part of the solution will be to keep going in a determined and mindful fashion. I hope:) <br /><br />Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it!<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-10926126678071435552016-05-19T04:40:32.961-07:002016-05-19T04:40:32.961-07:00what an amazing difference by just flipping the wo...what an amazing difference by just flipping the work! I find your newest path to be such fun, the ideas and your execution of them feels spot on from here. I don't see a block but a progression of style and form. Good work Libby!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166011380454448476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-41077735914501095682016-05-18T21:50:20.373-07:002016-05-18T21:50:20.373-07:00What a great idea to show it in two viewpoints. I ...What a great idea to show it in two viewpoints. I definitely saw it completely differently and that surprised me. I turn my work upside down to spot any lopsided vases or glaring design problems, but in an abstract like this the imagination can take over. I really enjoyed the experience and was drawn to the two black dots near the center which appear similar in both of them.<br />Sorry your block is continuing. I always worry i will not get through it, but I do<br />and usually I enter a new period of growth. juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.com
