It’s done, or is it?

Deborah Santoro

I added color today, probably too soon.  I see that I should have softened some pencil lines, especially around the floating leaves.  I couldn’t see that though until I added the color.

Here’s my best tip of the day.  If you’re an artist and you haven’t seen Joanne Mattera’s website, click here now.  It’s my homepage.  Look through her history of posts for some of the best information you’ll find anywhere about managing your art career.

Finally, I’d love to hear some of you weigh in.  What makes a drawing a drawing?  What makes a painting a painting?  Is it the medium itself or level of finish?  I’m truly wondering….

My work deals with themes of human and nonhuman intelligence, and what it means to return home when the nature of home itself is nebulous and undefined. As an interdisciplinary artist with homebases in painting and printmaking, I explore the interstitial spaces between these and other media, relishing the borderlands–the slippage between idea and medium. Lens based ways of looking interact with a fierce love of materiality that echoes the earth itself, and the ways in which humanity interacts with the homeostatic systems that comprise Gaia, the living earth.
