Mimi... I don't believe you have colors of the palette to reproduce her... uh... hues. Nor enough paper, unless we kill a few more trees. I'll get to that right after the seal hunting season is over.

I'll not touch that with a ten foot brush! And yes, those were the areas that got fixed up in this painting. Good eye! There is no overt symbology here though. This painting uses imagery from two pencil sketches that were studies for other, bigger works that I never got past those initial study stages. This painting (and others to come) are my effort to revive those projects long shelved, but never forgotten. I'll explain more fully in new posts. Ah no LK.

There's your next challenge Enas - do Mimi in watercolor. For some horrifying reason even though I know the word, I see the word “meme” and think of Mimi in The Drew Carey Show.

Nice Deb said I had to 'tag' five blogs for this meme exercise. I regret to inform you that your blog was one of five I chose at random from Deb's blogroll. If you do not want to participate let me know. Thanks! Details here: http://onehorse.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/the-six-word-memoir-meme/ Very nice work.

Ok, it looks to me like you worked on the water a bit more. Is the tree's shadow new or jazzed up? It looks sharper, crisper. The mountains and hilltop are much more clearly defined. Boy am I gonna feel foolish if none of those were changed, but it sure seems like those are what stand out. Would you perhaps have the old image to compare to? Ah, so the vengeful tree is a metaphor for life in general? :) All in all, not bad at all. Stark and surreal are a few of my favorites, so I'm going to be biased, but I like it.

Just a tree. Hanging out all by its lonesome. Watching the world roll by. Plotting revenge. Oh yes - The Tree hates you. It hates you all and it will make you all sorry. Very, very sorry.
