As I am nearing the end of this work, I have the opportunity to view the pieces together and see how they can be arranged to achieve the greatest degree of balance and aesthetic interest. With the last three, I am yielding to a desire for that balance and aesthetic interest in deciding on the colors.
So, I find that as much as I wanted to not be attached to an outcome, I am now being influenced by some kind of desired outcome. Just a little. Also, throughout the process, I so often wanted to use blacks and grays, but I forced myself to try harder to express the emotions in varying colors. Black was a problem for me because of the black background, which I wanted for all twelve.
I’ve got some other musings on the fruitfulness, and/or lack thereof, of this project, which I will share at the end. And I will be happy to be at the end of this project.
Next: Guilt.
