A Body of Work
You may hear or read that term , Body Of Work, but not really know what the writer refers to.
A body of work is a collection of art with three characteristics:
Consistent theme
Consistent technique
Quantity
A consistent theme and consistent technique define the artist=s visual style and creates an identifiable style.
Sometimes bodies of work just occur with no forethought. The My Yard series started with a single painting. I'm on number four now. Working on a series gives an artist the time to really explore and understand a subject to it's fullest potential.
A series has the potential for an excellent cohesive exhibition.
Generally mine occur because I get very interested in a subject and want to learn more about it. Seeing all of the paintings framed and hung together gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment.
