Left Handed Landscape

Painted with left hand when I broke my right arm.

This is beautiful! It has a dreamlike quality to it. I might have to try using my left hand!

Artist Reply: One of the toughest processes was not spilling the solvent as well as getting the caps off of the paint. If you try it, the rule is you can't use your right hand for ANYTHING! I sit cross-legged on the floor when I paint so it was even hard to get up and down. AARGH! Please take care of yourself so you never had to go through this.

I really like this............I've never thought of painting with my other hand - i guess you don't unless circumstances make it necessary...........I like the "flow" of light and colour through the landscape......the blue suggested peaks on the skyline and the way the posts draw the eye to the bridge, which is framed beautifully by the dark greens :o))

Artist Reply: Hi Jacki, TRUST ME, it's a grueling process but strangely enjoyable. I was actually hoping something bizarre would happen - but it DIDN'T! Go figure. So I was somewhat disappointed but also strangely pleased. Try it -- you might not like it.
