 Sometimes the best things happen when you paint over an old painting! There is a history there that I think only enriches the final image. Recently my husband and I got to spend a weekend visiting our daughter and her family in Rio Rancho NM. It was a great weekend hanging out with our grandsons and enjoying their craziness. In the middle of it all my daughter Alison and I redesigned a new 6'x12' mural for her living room and painted over the old one that she wasn't satisfied with.  The mural is a stylized landscape complete with pink New Mexico clouds. Alison loves the skies in Rio Rancho more than anything else there. She says they are constantly changing and as a talented photographer (you can see her work on Instagram at alisonhatchphotography or alisonhatchphoto.com) she appreciates the way the changing light affects everything in the landscape. It was a wonderful mother/daughter creative time together. The new painting covered over the old painting while parts of it can still be seen. Layers of paint, layers of memory.

I haven't heard of the idea off redesigning an old painting. Some of you might be asking, "what could be the reason why an old painting must be redesigned?" Well, artists can answer that question. But what you and Alison did was good, especially when you knew that the painting needs redesigning already. I ma sure that you just did what was right and I want to commend you for that! The product was also impressive, I must say! 2/3/2021 10:40:11 pm

AuthorWhen not in my studio I like to spend time with family, go to nurseries, the beach and farmer's markets, eat really good food and dance in the kitchen. I believe in kindness. Archives
