Kolene Spicher

A blog about my thoughts and my love of artwork as it develops. It reflects some of the basic steps that I go through to achieve the artwork which is eventually presented to Spicher and Co, an innovative design firm that manufactures artwork for the trade. The why, what, how, and where are a few of the questions that I attempt to answer as I blog away! This is a tiny window into the life of a painter, and my hope is that my love for life shines through in the objects that I work to create.

Girl with Mask, Part 2

When the painting still isn't finished ~ You add a bird!

I kept walking past this painting and doing a double take. What is on that girl's shoulder? It looks like a bird. Okay, it was her bow. However, because I kept seeing a bird, I decided that a bird should be there. This is one of the many licenses I take when I paint. I can't tell you how many times I have assembled a painting only to later tear it apart.
