Two days ago I had the pleasure to visit a friend who works with an association of painters. It was a pleasantly warm day, and we sat around painting and chatting. I was going to paint a political piece concerning my last post about the protests in Egypt. Mid-painting one of the Dominican painters told me stop painting and take a step back. He told me he loved the figures I was drawing and had to stop. He art is an unpredictable process; sometimes you create something completely different that you imagined. I think my friends felt bad since he was basically not allowing me to finish the painting I had envisioned, but over the last two and half years, I have learned to go with the flow. So I cleaned up the lines and had a little definition to the figures and ya! So, my question to you guys is what do you see in this picture? I will give you clue of what I see. There is a very specific reason I am giving this painting to my old group of artisans... and that's all you get!
Moral of the story, because I always need a moral. Do not stress if things do not turn out as planned... things turn out as they should, and usually for the better.
