yup.... same painting

Yup... this is the same painting that I've been posting as a work in progress. I have now titled it "Evolution" as that has been exactly what the process has been like.

I'm always pushing myself forward...sometimes it's more like slogging. This painting has been like pulling teeth for me.... bringing it out of the mess I created with the underpainting and in to uncharted territory for me. My work is usually "softer" I think .... more organic. But the tides need to change, as with life.

Perhaps that explains the waves.

Want to watch a painting?

I started another big abstract oil painting recently, and thought it might be fun to post images of the painting in progress. The inspiration for this one is a poem titled "Triggers" written by a friend, Philippe Pascal, and it's about the touch of a pianists fingers. I listened to Chopin while doing the underpainting and now I really have my work cut out for me! I'll post pictures of my progress as I get them and we'll see where we go from there. Hope you enjoy~
