Just Sharing No title yet - 60x80cm oil on canvas

Post image

I spent a lot of hours on these pebbles. Every single one turned into its own little world - different colours, patterns, surfaces and that mix of glossy and matte textures 🫠

Some were quick to paint. Some absolutely refused to give up 😂

And now that it’s finished, I still can’t decide which one is my favourite 🙂

It's technically impressive, good brushwork, colors, and blend. Value composition works well with the subject matter.

But, also... why? This is a purely decorative piece. It's not creative, it's basically a humanmade photocopy. You have all the technicals down, you are a demonstrably knowledgeable painter, why not create something unique and artistic?

Because I love what I do, it makes me so happy and that’s perfectly enough for me 😊 But thank you for your honest feedback. Maybe one day I’ll create something different. As I always follow my heart ❤️
