Kunst

Dear readers,

 

Today I worked further on ‘the big one’: 100/100 cm (40/40 inch).

It was such a mess that I did not know how to go further. But I was strenghtened by the blog of Nicholas Wilton (see yesterday), that you can always go further, you  can always paint something over and there are always new possibilities. What a beautiful metaphor for life!

I painted over with a lot of blue, and suddenly those little creatures came into being.

I am not finished yet, so this is work in progress. And I felt myself getting a little bit ‘attached’ to the painting, which gives me less freedom to just paint on. Let’s see how this one will evolve!

 

with love,

Simone

    b/c = abbreviation for because; sorry—I used it without even being aware that I was doing so!

    Oh my gosh, this is such fun! I love the “tidy” grid-like feeling filled with “untidy” mischievous playful little creatures.

    Again, I am heartened, and I need heartening b/c I am still in the messy middle of a painting that is trying desperately to come into its own but is taking its sweet time getting there!

      Hi Dotty!
      Thank you. Yes, I know what it is to be in the middle of a painting and experience that it seems to have a life of its own!
      A question: what does b/c mean?

      with love,
      Simone
