3 rough-edged pieces of raw unprimed canvas
mounted and painted on commercial canvas
then removed from the mounts
swirls and shapes and angry colours
painted with ferocious energy
now hang limply over a rail
what next?
each piece is about 70cm squarish, originally mounted on 80cm sq canvas
I could re stretch and remount
I could paint over them
I could burn them
any thoughts?
2 canvases, each 60 cm square
one above the other
a diptych
oil paint with siccative for the first coat
then taped and painted again
then tape removed
followed by oil bars
finally graphite pencil marks
part landscape
part dream
when I’m travelling I take prepared pieces of unstretched rough canvas for making quick sketches
I use oilbars which are quick drying oil paint in a stick form
in hot temperatures they melt, so I use a palette knife to scoop and spread
I also use a graphite stick
when I get home again I mount the best pieces, and work up larger paintings in my studio while the memories are still fresh
