#circle canvas

[leomitchellart]

May’s theme - CIRCLE! That alone had me trying out so many things. While I was still deciding, I deciding to pick-up a pack of three, different size, circle canvases. In the end I decided on a pizza, a disco ball and an anti-AI art symbol. 🍕 🪩 🚫

With the pizza, I went with BBQ chicken, my favourite, instead of the more fitting choice of pepperoni - just to shake things up. I’ve discovered I have a knack for drawing food, so it’s good to see I can apply it to a 3D canvas too. In fact, the night of the showcase, I ordered a pizza from a place I hadn’t tried before, sure enough, the one I got looked just like my painting!

I kept updating the process to an Italian friend of mine, when she saw the dough and crust, she said she thought it was real! I knew I was on the right track then. 

The disco ball proved to be a pain, I’d painted and repainted it so many times because I kept making so many mistakes. And of course I had to choose an iridescent rainbow colour scheme, rather than a simple silver ball. But once again the phrase “finished is better than perfect’ helped stop me from spending more time than I should’ve, even after the showcase. 

The anti AI art was pure catharsis. So many artists have done their take on the logo, so I was glad to finally have one of my own. Even better to hold it in my hands. Plus I just love this style of colouring and painting. 

Then, just like the pools, I added a painted egg to the mix, choosing primary coloured dots. Even outside of major projects, wooden egg painting has become just a relaxing hobby for me. I just remind myself to show my collection sometime.  

It was so fun to see what everything did. I may have chosen circular objects, but it was even better to see people choose circular compositions, patterns, keys-arts of a larger piece. It’s hard to pick a favourite amongst them all.
