I've been painting smaller pieces, such as this 11 x 14" canvas, with the goal of clearing my voice. I will work my way back up to painting some larger pieces, but for now it seems like making several paintings in a day is the way to progress.
In painting, it is easy to second guess every move, but I just allowed myself to paint this one quickly, and let the accuracy happen. When I look at my favorite painters work, I can feel some of this as well, so I am glad when it happens to me.
The sun shines once in a while during Mud Season, and I was glad it did on this day.
Kyle, this looks so real and honest. Love it! I enjoy reading and hearing your thought process. Super piece...one I'll continue to return to, to study and look at.
ReplyDeleteI recall reading somewhere (I don't recall who just now) that it is also good to practice making many starts and taking them no further.
