She approaches her work with quick bold strokes and confidence, me on the other hand sketch lightly timidly and second guess myself. Pastels and joy are the order of the day for her and me, I tend toward brooding shadows and black. In my work I lean toward realism and she paints in a delightfully dreamy way.
No ones work is better than the other just very different and we both capture the essence of our subject matter.
When I see my friends work I am greatly inspired. Not only by the wonderfully crafted and dreamy pieces but by her approach. Seeing her dive in completely and boldly somehow frees me to do the same. Now when I look at my work I am less critical and welcome the unexpected.
Here a piece made by the brilliant Sara Cohen.
