making images with paint

fireflies from afar

dont know why I am thinking of fireflies, and bright sparkling lights on water, and warm evenings
perhaps because its hailing and theres snow on the mountains
perhaps because in Portugal it was 19° at this time of day
peehaps because the warm reds and golds popped through the blues and warmed my soul

start again

this was the repeat refrain on a 10 day meditation retreat I did a couple of years ago in Nepal
applies in all walks of life!

3 paintings in my studio this morning, stuck, frustrated, unresolved

image

so ‘start again’!

2 new canvases, 80cm square
3 layers, wet on wet, of contrasting colours, oil and cold wax medium
then some different powder pigments
I’ll go back to them later today or tomorrow, when they are drier but still tacky, and work ovee with a roller
and then start again
