Ugandan Rush Hour

8" x 10" Oil on Panel

Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men. Proverbs 22:29

I have made a new resolution with my art, I am going to stop rushing things and avoiding detail. This verse and carefully observing the work of artists I admire has convince me to spend more time on my paintings. I usually like to finish a face or figure in detail then just throw in a quick abstract background, but the art I like most isn't like that at all, the complete the whole picture in detail and spend time on developing a composition and getting harmonious colors. I now realize that if I want my art to succeed, laziness will not do.
