I had an interesting insight today, while reviewing one of
my latest paintings.
This is an oil painting, so it is easy to make small changes
during the long drying time.
I softened a few hard edges, and added a little bend to a
few lines. While doing that, my mind was
wandering of to memories of dancing. I
studied Ballet for about 15 years (many years ago) and small moves were very
important. The tilt of the head, the
bend of the back, or just the way fingers touched each other, all added to how
graceful a move looked. I guess it doesn’t
matter which art form it is, little aspects accumulate to strength the overall quality.
Just my thought for the day.
