Revisit, Revise, Make a New!

Flowers in Watering Can

One of the things that happens when participating in art festivals, is doing a lot of sitting and observing while customers come in to view the my art on the walls of my tent. As I watch them, I become my own worst critic. The blessing is that I work digital.

Below is one that fell under my critical eye that I changed as you see above design for an updated look.

It is subjective, but as I sat there in my chair, I decided that it could be better. It was as if I was in a hurry with the first attempt with the one with the yellow plaid background. 

I am glad I took a second look.

"I've got to Crow!"

It has been awhile.

I have been busy with no ideas. So I thought to do a rooster for my 

great-grandmother. According to my grandmother, her mother was very fond of roosters and saved the life of her favorite while growing up on a farm in Michigan. It was one of many stories that my grandmother told of her mother. 

I think she sort of haunts my mother and I in a good way. Maybe this explains the roosters my my mother made  and painted. I even have a rooster doll my mother made.
