"Stop!" That's one of the many lessons I'm learning about painting. When I was almost done with this one, I decided to make the right hand side a little more "interesting." So I started adding a line or to here. And some color there. And finally, it was a mess. I thought it might grow in me if I slept on it. However, when I woke up, I knew it looked all wrong so I immediately painted over it plain yellow, like it was before I screwed it up. And the title? A modest reference to Georgia O'Keeffe. Not that my work could ever get close to one of her masterpieces. But I do find her inspiring.
My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows in the Detroit area. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com
