Time for a Redo!

"Time for a Redo"

by Randy Blasquez

Today I didn't quite know where to start. I just finished up a large piece for a show, after working on a few others for a different show and meeting a deadline before that.. It has been that way lately. So, today when I was thinking about where to start with a new series for one of the galleries I ended up in the storage area (my second bedroom that has been taken over by old paintings), and as I went through some old forgotten starts and unhappy endings, I decided it might be a good idea to just start painting and playing around to get the creative juices flowing as they say.
This was a demo from class about 3 years ago. We painted out on the sidewalk in Plein Air. I had it framed for a while and then put it away, thinking it wasn't going anywhere and I had lost any interest in doing something with it. So, I had some fun with it, darkened the shadow side and adding more light to the light side. The pears I didn't really touch. Ah! I don't know, it might get some more outta me but maybe not. The pears are a little too defined against the lost flowers, and I haven't decided if that's okay or not.
If I do make any changes, I'll add it to the post later today.....
If you just need to get going, start with an old piece that got left behind. See what you can do. It might spark some new ideas or it might turn out to be a masterpiece!
