now to get back to this post.....
I paint in 'Series'.... different themes, different ideas....
I follow them through until I need to stop/ change direction/something else draws me away.
I figure if it was OK for Picasso to have his different periods......his Blue Period, Rose Period, Cubism and more.....
and for Brett Whiteley.....
you can't argue with perfection....
then it is OK for me.
some series are a closed book.....finished....won't return to that one....
for example.....my 'Music of the Mind' Series.....
'Song of Venice.... The Grand Canal' Jo-Ann Hunt 'Music of the Mind' Series H12x138cm H44x54ins Acrylic on Canvas 2005 sold |
some series have a series within themselves....like a mother ship with smaller versions of itself berthed ( birthed?) to its perimeters.... eg: 'The Child Within ' Series...
'the Child Within...John and Betty '
'the Child Within.... Myths and Legends'
'The Red Pedal Car' Jo-Ann Hunt 'The Child Within....John And Betty ' Series H125x125cm H49x49ins Acrylic on Canvas 2003 sold |
'The Sisters' Jo-Ann Hunt Commission Portrait 'The Child Within' Series H122x107cm H48x42ins Acrylic on Canvas 2005 sold |
'Soul Mates' Jo-Ann Hunt 'The Child Within...Myths and Legends ' Series H140x140cm H55x55ins Acrylic on Canvas 2010 xxxx |
....they change over the years....they evolve....
and you should see what theme in this series I'm working on now!
......(but not today!)
and then there is the series that I always seem to have time for....
there's always more to say....
more to paint....
that series is 'Travels with my Paintbrush'....
'The Farmhouse beyond the Vines' Jo-Ann Hunt 'Travels with my Paintbrush' Series H93x78cm H36x30ins Acrylic on Canvas 2005 sold |
'The Olive Pickers' Jo-Ann Hunt 'Travels with my Paintbrush' Series H112x138cm H44x54ins Acrylic on Canvas 2005 sold |
'Paradise Found' Jo-Ann Hunt 'Travels with my Paintbrush' Series H132x132cm H52x52ins Acrylic on Canvas 2007 sold |
series..... a sequence, string, progression....
my way of working....
why deny yourself all that fun when you can paint it all!
....just one series after another...
there's always another!
