You explained it well. <br /><br />Another observation I have made about work in a series, is that the artist projects commitment and viewers respond to that sense of commitment. It is more compelling.Carol McIntyrehttp://paintingharmony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603688707055036302.post-77753510904745671032014-03-11T12:06:03.995-07:002014-03-11T12:06:03.995-07:00You are absolutely correct!

It was good to play and make with my own thoughts with new materials. Meanwhile I ordered two books from the USA ( I live in Australia) and they both took a month to arrive. So I continued with a theme for a forthcoming exhibition in June. I really did not know if my work was materially sound.. but play I did. Then the books arrived. Here was the real how to do.. I thought. After experimenting a bit more according to some methods I became very lost. So many directions to go. Just this week I thought actually I was doing ok on my own with my own thoughts prior to recieving the books.. and all the books did, were muck me up!! I lost my flow of thinking and originality of material application. So this week I have decided to forget the books.. get back to where I was before the reading and resume my thoughts. I am sure the material experiments will have ultimately helped - but ultimately it is my own voice I need in my art work. Tasia confirmed that to be so.
