The Adventures of Focusing On One Subject.

Years ago, my art teacher challenged me to pick one subject and see how many varied types of artwork I could make with it. I chose a simple spoon. To keep myself from getting bored of the simplicity of the object, I really had to stretch my imagination. 15 pieces later, I was amazed with the diversity I had created. I used various mediums, and no two pieces looked the same. I even had fun imitating the styles of other artists just to see my capabilities. It has been 15 years since this first challenge. Since I am getting back into art again after a long pause, I have decided to do this again. Only, it will all be in acrylic paint for now. The subject will be cows. I chose this particular subject, because at my next painting night, we will be painting a cow and I think it would be fun to have various cow paintings hanging around for inspiration. This adventure is going to last through the month of February....and I will see what happens next. If anyone else wants to embark on this adventure, I would love to see what you create.
