I had been using this as a strategy to keep going on a painting, that I was indeed <em>making<\/em> myself paint. I had intended &#8211; I had really wanted &#8211; to finish the big painting of apple blossoms and bees in time for my big festival this weekend. I wanted a big, new piece to show off \u2013 and deadlines offer helpful structure to me \u2013 they help me get things finished. But this can only go so far \u2013 especially when making art.<\/p>\n<p>I took the photos that inspired this painting in March, when spring was busting out &#8211; everything was fresh with brand-new petals \u2013 which on that day, were lit through with bright sunshine. I dove in to paint it, but it is big and complex \u2013 I\u2019ve yet to take on a painting, with as much detail over such a large space \u2013 and detail takes time to paint. I took a break to finish \u201cOffering\u201d to enter in the County Fair \u2013 and then to paint \u201cGlobal\u201d \u2013 the eggplants I started for the \u201cPainting Shiny Things\u201d Special Saturday in June. I returned to it and worked diligently, while up at Lake Tahoe this summer. I\u2019ve painted on it, every day since the beginning of July &#8211; and have been having moments of sweet enjoyment doing so. But after a weekend up in the vineyards, surrounded by the fullness of ripe summer fruit \u2013 all in jewel-y colors, the need for something else crept in. It was no longer the time to paint softly colored blossoms. And making myself do so, felt like I was putting myself on a creative diet.<\/p>\n<p>The time and place that we paint, matters. Looking back at these paintings, I can see how where I am in the world, and the time of year it is, is reflected in the artwork. I painted most of \u201cTropical Peaches\u201d while on vacation in Kauai. The blues in the reflections of the light on the leaves became turquoise, as my eyes were filled with the color of the tropical ocean. On a later trip to Kauai I started \u201cFirelight,\u201d but then stopped because the hot reds, oranges and pinks felt incongruous, as I smelled the plumeria and felt the breezes on my skin. Instead I painted \u201cMelia,\u201d changing the pink flowers to white, to suit my softer mood. I picked up and finished \u201cFirelight\u201d late last year, when it was chilly \u2013 and there was real firelight in the fireplace. At this time and place, I found the rich colors warm and comforting.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4558\" style=\"width: 595px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4558\" class=\"wp-image-4558\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/peaches-firelight-melia.jpg\" alt=\"Tropical peaches, Firelight and Melia - time and place are in these paintings.\" width=\"585\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/peaches-firelight-melia.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/peaches-firelight-melia-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/peaches-firelight-melia-200x50.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4558\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tropical peaches, Firelight and Melia &#8211; time and place are in these paintings.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This brings me to the life-of-its-own that each painting has. \u201cFirelight\u201d had been kicking around in my studio, unfinished, as I regarded it as \u201cthat old thing\u201d, for a couple years. The same with \u201cRaindance,\u201d which, when finished, became a big favorite of all my work. I have to believe that if I\u2019d pushed through to finish these two paintings when I had first started them, they could not have been the paintings they were. The time and place changed \u2013 and so did I.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from time and place, I\u2019ve noticed also that paintings seem to have a lifespan, going through several stages. Here are the ones I\u2019ve been through:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We begin with the <em>Courtship Stage<\/em> &#8211; before ever starting a painting, the idea of it captivates us. We think about it, play with images. We may have a long engagement with the idea \u2013 or we may start work on it right away. I\u2019ve got a whole folder of these \u201ccandidates\u201d that I sometimes visit \u2013 asking: are any of you coming through next?<\/li>\n<li>When the time comes to paint, usually \u2013 hopefully &#8211; we start out eager, <em>hungry<\/em> to paint it. The first paint to touch the paper is thrilling, as we dream of the finished painting. This is the <em>Twitterpated Stage<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>After a while we may hit the <em>Ugly Duckling Stage<\/em> (which often goes by less delicate names) \u2013 the first layers look clunky, awkward, colors may be off. We can feel like we&#8217;ve lost our way.<\/li>\n<li>We might hit an <em>Ee-Gads Stage<\/em> \u2013 we\u2019ve made a mistake, spilled something on it, mis-read our drawing, painting where we didn\u2019t want to. This can bring the terror, that we\u2019ve absolutely <em>ruined<\/em> it!<\/li>\n<li>After painting a while, we may wonder if we will ever be done with it \u2013 it seems to be taking so long! Welcome to the <em>Sick and Tired Stage<\/em>. This is where we might need a planned separation.<\/li>\n<li>Once enough of it starts coming together though, the spark that got us going can return, re-energizing us to see it through \u2013 to realize our vision \u2013 or maybe &#8211; because of time and place \u2013 it could be coming out differently, than we had even imagined. Regardless, we\u2019ve arrived in the <em>Homestretch<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>The <em>Am I Done? Stage<\/em> comes at or towards the end. It seems like it could be finished, but there are still places that might vex us, things that still look funny, awkward. For me, these parts can be all I can see \u2013 like the pimple that just arose on my chin. This is where we really, really need each other, to help us sort out what needs to be attended to and what is better to leave well enough alone.<\/li>\n<li>With any luck, we\u2019ll eventually come to the <em>Oh, There You Are! Stage<\/em>. For me, this is after it\u2019s been framed and I\u2019ve moved in with the next painting. I\u2019ve forgotten the parts that bugged me, and I can see what everyone else has been seeing all along \u2013 the spirit that the painting carries that is entirely apart from me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I had started on this one here, the one big apple, with the thought that it might be good for the 2017 calendar. I started it at the San Anselmo Festival in late June, loving the colors. But then, fell flat when we hit the Ugly Ducking Stage, while I was painting the leaves. Last week, after deciding to set aside the big blossom painting, I picked it back up again. All that remained unpainted, was the apple. I dove in, playing with colors and textures, layering and having a <em>great<\/em> time. I finished it in one day &#8211; on Thursday &#8211; during my two groups. Just a few hours was all it took! It\u2019s not one of my best, but I love the light and the freedom I took with the colors. I\u2019m happy to report, that the leaf in the lower right that had me <em>hating<\/em> it, no longer bothers me. Thank goodness for how a little breather can settle everything down.<\/p>\n<p>I used to say, that I only had two disciplines \u2013 that I finish every painting and I keep my website updated. Finishing every painting was a really good thing to do early on. It taught me a <em>ton<\/em> about how watercolor works \u2013 and how fixable it really is \u2013 contrary to what most people think. Now that I\u2019m sure that I won\u2019t fill my studio with partially painted sheets of watercolor paper, never finishing anything, I\u2019ve allowed myself more freedom to set things aside. Maybe a temporary break-up with a painting, is just what we both need. The big blossom painting is tucked away, waiting for me to crave painting luminous petals again. And until then, I\u2019m excited to be painting my newest infatuation \u2013 these Zinfandel grapes, that I took two Sunday mornings ago in Cloverdale. Oh, those yummy colors!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4559\" style=\"width: 495px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4559\" class=\"wp-image-4559\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/WIP-grapes-8-30-16.jpg\" alt=\"The image on the left, the just-started painting on the right.
