I was lying in burned out basement
The enchanted forest
Who can find the upside down goose?
At last something that looks like something
Okay the thing is when you are driving across your landscape with your smallest dagger brush it just leaves a white path because it is pretty wet and everything washes out, but the further you go the drier the brush becomes and it begins bulldozing the paint debris in front of it, and because it is kind of sticky the hairs splay out so that each hair is separated and dragging its paint in behind it and the brush is leaving parallel lines behind it so you get a lacy pattern. And I have always wondered if I could use that phenomena in my paintings someway where it came together. I'll be in the lab probably until Halloween.
And look here another Renaissance Art Fair. October 22, 10 to 4. Discounts for old and new masters who drop by.
I like these! Even the grid works...probably because it's soft and low contrast and feels like texture. Speaking of texture, the texture you got in the last one is fascinating. Now you need to feature it instead of letting it get lost in a sea of tiny brushstrokes. Honestly, I don't think I would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is the texture. It's the new dit, dit, dit. It's dit, dit, dit.....dit.
ReplyDeleteNOOO! Say it ain't so!
DeleteOh it be so, Sister.
DeleteI like #2 where you’ve allowed the bright colors to pop. The ones that have the greatest contrast in either color or brushstrokes tend to attract my attention more. Contrast Is what makes abstraction interesting imo…actually it’s what makes any painting interesting…
ReplyDeleteStill like the first one the best. There’s a lot of depth there. That blue one looks a little fuzzy but all right greatly enlarged. Try it on a bigger piece of Yupo. Are they all small? That dagger brush brushwork looks promising.
