creative turning point
I don't think I've had my big creative turning point yet. Or is it that each piece is a small one flying under the radar, disguising it's importance in my artistic growth?
I don't feel like I've found my style quite yet but I've been attempting to over the last couple years. But I got tired of waiting for it to feel "perfect" so I threw together a website and joined this group hoping to find it. As SARK says..."Perfection is the enemy of done." I've got that one posted on my computer screen to read daily.
This one above has elements that I would like to incorporate in future pieces. I like using line work and I like the brushy, thick quality of the paint with the colors clumsily mixed together. I go between this paint method and flat color like in this one below.
I can't quite pinpoint one piece as a turning point. Maybe I'm just too close or I'm still waiting for it to happen. Maybe it's not my determination to make?

Hey there Frizz
I think you're too hard on yourself. The pieces are really cool. And I'm not just being nice ;-)

have you put banana cream pie on a postcard and mailed it out yet??? NO??? Well hop to it young lady. This is a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, strong piece for you! I wuld hire you in an instant if I go this in the mail. it has depth and texture. It's yummy and not to mention there's a cheeky chimp baking the pie!
LOVE.
I agree w/ Leeza about the monkey piece. I don't think you need to worry overmuch on which style to work with. I think you're great with both, although I agree with you on the chunky texture and mixed colors; I think it shows more personality.
