This is one of mine from 34 years ago (time,,, WTF?).
My wife’s closest childhood friend was into collecting clowns and my wife commissioned me to do this for her birthday.
I did a couple for my wife (part of our courtship but, no clowns hahaha except
Me) when I was still in the Nav, WestPac ‘88. One each is on loan to my daughters and I don’t have digital pics of those.
Anyway, my art is primarily technical and I need to see it to do it if that makes sense. I struggle with allowing myself to break free from ‘precision’.
I’ve dabbled in oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolor, leather, clay, metals,, I have a block between imagination and my hand to render. Drives me crazy. Yet, I can paint and draw from photos.
My oldest daughter does not have that block and the creativity just spills out of her.
My youngest is more like me. Struggles with drawing and painting yet, sculpture, throwing clay?? She excels. Funny how skills manifest.
