I've been working on changing, not so much the way I paint but what I paint.
My wife nagged me for years to paint flowers so to prove that I do listen from time to time here is an Iris on water colour paper using watercolour, acrylic gouache and gold and copper metal leaf. I'm fairly satisfied with this one.
It's good to change things up a bit from time to time ~ to keep your work fresh and interesting. Artists too often get into comfortable ruts and just stay there. Experimentation is a part of the artistic process and there's certainly no shame in trying a new subject matter or a new medium. Go for it!
