I've been posting less frequently lately. I have been keeping this blog for over 3 years and at times, posting nearly every day. Creative time had become something I looked forward to and mostly enjoyed. Also, and really important, is that I was not locked in to producing something very labor intensive or complex nor invested in the outcome. I published, unashamedly, knowing that tomorrow I will have another chance. So what happened? I continue to treat painting as my go-to place for inner peace. My dedication to recording my process, however, has slowed down. This is a familiar pattern. I'm good at starting things with great enthusiasm and then it somehow loses it's urgency or importance. Or I seem to have devised new standards for what I post...So I'm making an effort today to write this, and post my latest experiment.
I had some blank canvases on a shelf and I decided to apply thick layers of gesso ino which I pressed some objects to create shapes when it was still wet. Then I started applying paint, just highlighting some of the textures in the surface. I continued to paint what I saw and this is the result. And tomorrow I'll have another chance.
