I decided to make another attempt at “primitive.” I forced myself to use more muted colors and keep it kind of rough and sketchy. I even sand papered over the whole painting at the end to roughen it up even more. It’s a totally different style for me, but it was kind of fun to do something so different. Personally I like my crazy bright paintings better, but I’m enjoying experimenting with all different styles in my True Free Spirit class.
You might have noticed I also drew an animal besides a cat. What is it? I don’t know. Shaylie thinks it’s a deer. I have no idea. I just decided it was time to do something that wasn’t a cat. I’m not even a cat person! But drawing animals really is not my thing!
I’d say it’s a deer too. The girl’s eyes are so expressive. They look a little sad but, with her arms open, she looks as if she’s ready to receive. Feels emotional to me.
Oh, yes. It’s a dear little deer (better known as a fawn (:. This little fawn has it’s head cocked with a very quizzical expression………..as if to ask, Is there some way I can help you?” The girl does appear to be reaching out for help. Maybe she’s looking for a way to get out of the glumly environment she is caught in????
I love her. Pensive but open. The sky with the moon/sun is breathtaking.
