I'm working on framing the last thing in order to hang everything. Unfortunately, I had to make three runs, so far, to the lumber yard to get the framing materials for the triptych. I need that one hung first as it's the largest thing on that wall.
I want to divulge that it was a telling moment when I sorted all my work and was taken aback that as a whole it didn't look like I thought it would. They always talk about "style", a person's painting style. When you see a couple of paintings at a time you don't notice it much, that overall style people talk about, some are different from one another: but as a whole, it's obvious. Maybe it's like seeing a photograph of yourself someone else took that you didn't know about, and you didn't immediately recognize yourself. Anyway, what I saw was that it was more colorful than I thought I was and somehow unsettling as I am working to have a looser style which I haven't achieved yet. This is a a good thing, seeing everything together, now I can move forward on a steadier course.
