Progress on dandelion painting

I started out thinking of this as a vertical painting (but most of my paintings are), but now I'm wondering if it makes more sense the other way?





I guess I'll stare at it for a while. Worked on Margaret's web site for a bit more today; still need to update her on the changes. Tomorrow is a whole day with no interruptions, appts, weight room commitments (although I still have to exercise), hopefully it will be a productive day.

I like the horizontal better. But why should you dictate or worry about which direction? People can decide which they want when they own it.

Well, from a practical standpoint, most of my pieces are framed when sold, so they buyer doesn't get to decide.

Then there's my intent. I think it's great if someone else has a different interpretation as me, and I like to engage in dialog about the differences; but that's only meaningful if we're starting at the same point. So I want to put it out there with intention, and from there on, let it be what it will be.
