Discernment

Share

 "Discernment" I often use old/vintage/recycled canvases. Partly for eco-conscious reasons, and partly because they are available for pennies on the dollar - and I do love a bargain. This particular canvas had quite possibly the most ridiculous painting of swans ever executed by someone's dear old aunt. (Aren't all swan paintings done by someone's dear old aunt?) As an homage to the original painting, I used color in a bit more abundance than usual as seen in the blues and yellows found throughout. The title comes from her expression; it's as if she's discerning the qualities of some unseen (to us) item held in her left hand. Hopefully, it's not a swan.
