Another fun painting is almost done. Just a few tweaks left on this one.
I say fun, now!
Painting is at times a weird thing. I’m not always “plugged in” (when it flows and I get all happy and the hours go by quickly).
This morning, I kept looking at the clock for when I would put down the brush and go for a walk. After 3 hours of that, I was finally plugged in and another hour went by before the walk was taken. During the unplugged time, it doesn’t look right, is it how I see it or is it really the colours I’ve mixed? I don’t feel it, intuition isn’t on, the colours don’t seem to jive but I keep going because I have to, and then something shifts, and I feel it, a jolt of excitement is felt, the colours are indeed working and I’m relieved to have stayed with it. The weird part is, it working out when judgment seemed to be suspended, almost fumbling. Yep, painting is at times weird.
A few days ago the background was pretty much completed on a plugged in day – stirs me up to think about trying landscape painting again. Maybe in a few weeks after the show pieces are done…
