Oh, and yes, you are right: it is on paper. It (cutting it in four) is an idea that I am going to ‘ponder about’ (?).
Have just been measuring: I have made a mistake: it is 23/30, not 20/20 cm. So I can not glue it on a woodpanel. Hmmmmmmmm.
Hi Dotty,
I think that it is really a good observation. For me it feels wrecked because I feel tired of all the new layers to hide the underlying shapes or lines that I don’t like. In the end I see that the texture really gets messy and uneven. You see that on the shapes at the left: the magenta and white one. On a photograph it does not show so well.
But it has more to do with the process, I think you are right. When the painting is finished I am sort of tired that nothing flows out of itself. I feel that I am only damage-repairing. And finally the painting only breathes effort.
But the viewer does not know all of this, so probably I should not discard this painting too soon ;)
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Simone, I wonder what it is that makes a painting one day seem (to you) overworked and “almost wrecked” … and a painting another day not. Also, you see overworked and almost wrecked here, and I do not.
I continue to be so fascinated by the aspects of painting (verb) that make is strongly subjective and so much more about internal than external.
This IS a painting on paper, yes? You could cut it into quarters and have a quartet of mini paintings … instant series, and perhaps instant evaporation of “overworked”???
