building on strengths and approaching in fresh ways
Foot Hill Views – digital painting – 2005 – Dan Beck
My hunch is I have already featured this piece in a blogsite article. In fact, perhaps it is even fortuitous that I should choose a piece that I have already written about.
Almost always, an artist tries to do something new – at least this artist does. Working in a series – a group of work all wrestling with a similar problem – such as Picasso’s blue period – is one thing, but still the hope is each work will tackle it a new way.
It is a logical way of having work hold together and also looks better when hung in a show. Some of the oddest shows I have seen are works from artists over decades of time.
My creative tip or contribution today is that sometimes what has already been done is worth doing again.
Every time I write a song, I want a new chord progression, but sometimes the same things come out. Sometimes they warrant being changed, but sometimes it can work just by bringing in a fresh attitude. I think it is all about how you believe in or sell it.
Accepting what you do well is a good thing for anybody.
