Here it is, we have arrived at the end of this nearly unending 30 Day Challenge. You’ve all been good creative sports about the hardship – I could almost believe some of you enjoyed it. In the next few days I’ll start posting my favorites, and then I’ll post the winners of the prizes after faves, but first: we have one more day to create something where there was nothing, color where there was grey, line where there was unbounded opportunity. Artists, we have one more challenge to go!
Alice Neel learned from her teacher that people have one eye that is dominant, and after that she painted portraits with one side in strength – not just the eyes, but the hands as well. We all walk around with two nearly identical hands, pretending it’s not weird that one works and one doesn’t. Today let’s emphasize our weird and wobbly unbalanced halves.
