In my heart I'm a minimalist, in my head I'm everything but.

I had an image like this in my head for a while and this is one of those pieces that worked out but isn't quite as striking as I had hoped. I really like the simplicity, but like always, I'm hesitant to leave it. I am an artist who loves seeing other people do things that I don't like doing. I like simplicity. I like some minimalism, but I have a really hard time doing either in painting. Occasionally I get that simplicity down. Occasionally I get that piece that is as striking and exciting as a much more complicated one and it's really quite beautiful...but it's like when you are listening to a new band...sometimes you just know right off the bat if it's a keeper or a one-listen wonder...sometimes it just doesn't click...I'm just not sold on this piece at the moment quite yet. Love the colors and composition, something just doesn't sit right with me.
