Another one , these paintings have been a struggle for me, especially this one. Because i know that it can work in the manner i want, to make it unified with the series that i am working on but it is not coming together so i took my neighbors advice and "block out the problem and start again" which is what i did. The house is the only thing that i salvaged but as the rest comes together it will be changing too. With making artworks are the moments where you are able to get through 5-6 even 10 paintings without any issues, but we reach these walls at any point. They come without warning but we must overcome them and that is how we improve ourselves and our work. without struggle there is no real progress.
This painting was a frustration , the issues were not apparent to me at first, i had a bit of nostalgia, a connection to it because it was fragment of one of the paintings i finished earlier. It was going nowhere and put me into a box that i could'nt get out of, so this is a picture of one of my failed attempts.
I posted these pictures with the thoughts of what i have been working on. At the same time, the thoughts of what i am trying to say, art to me is finding myself in my paintings. But art is more than that, it is the recreation of what the artist see's and the act of conversation. Conversation with others the upon looking at the work brings. The conversation of what i , myself, am i trying to say, it is a search that never finishes, even as the days grow short at the end of our life.
The abstraction of the image through color, still in its infancy . i have a long way to go before this is finished but i can feel it will be more dynamic than my previous paintings.
The chaos within ,just a sketch a beginning of what i might do. Radical angles, a little influenced but what i see around me in the studio.
A second life for this painting that has gone through possibly 3 different looks. It starting to look more like a traditional painting but later i will infuse a more colorful palette that will make me feel comfortable with the end result.
