I’m having some fun with process, using old unsuccessful painted canvasses to re-work, amend or completely paint over
These 2 canvases, each 80cm sq, were initially very different abstract paintings, but both had quite a lot of structure and quite large areas with earth and ochre colours. I have kept some of the initial areas but built up additional structures and much more detail
Here are the two separately:
And here is another, larger canvas. This one is 80 x 120cm and has much more tentative amendments – might not be quite finished yet
Fascinating to follow your exploration of structure, and thoughts about what in old paintings provides useful elements for new versions.
Fascinating and daunting in equal measure on this end of the equation. I suppose it’s just all variations on a theme. It’s all work – and necessary revision/adjustment/ starting again / scrapping / building / demolishing…..heading out to do some more now
Thanks
The colour and movement of these works are beautiful.
Thanks
