This guy really knew how to compose! Great images! I really love the collaborative painted frames as well with Toure. www.artnews.com/wp-content/u...

Transitoriness. Oil on Canvas 20 x 30 inches.

Creation - that is the great redemption from suffering, and life’s easement. But that the creator may exist, that itself requires suffering and much transformation.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra

What I’m interested in is the sensation of the paint and the brush on the surface. I’m building paint layers. It’s the cumulative activity rather than the “immediate” sensation of an image.
Image 3 is what I started with this morning, Image 1 where I stopped.

Current State. I’ve been told it’s Autumnal looking. I guess so.

It’s funny because I wasn’t thinking about any of that. Only “ ughh not this but that, too fuzzy, too flat, too sharp, not sharp enough, not fuzzy enough, too thick, not thick enough, too bright, not bright enough..” and so on.

Reworked an old painting with oil paint. Missed the malleability and smell of oil paint

Possession
Acrylic and plastic bags on cardboard. This is a weird one. Halloween times. This painting is on cardboard and all warped. I don’t think I want to flatten it out as I like it warped and sinister.
