I’m sure that I’ve talked about this before but when I move forward with an idea for a painting, I typically think (at minimum) in twos. Whether it’s approaching a new subject, a new process or a new product, I don’t feel that you can give that new idea ‘a fair shake’ if you just try it once.
I also tend to have multiple pieces in process at the same time. So while these three pieces don’t seem like they go together, they really do. I’ve been working through two new styles of work, a new medium/additive to my acrylic paints and a new palette of colors. Do they look very different in some ways…yes, but throughout their creation, the process and products were very similar.
