| From Lady and the Chimera |
How's The Lady and the Chimera coming along? Applying paint very thickly, unusual for me. Because the canvas is so small (12"x9"), I'm using a tiny sable brush. Applying the paint without thinning it takes time, which I'm rather enjoying. Because the oil paint is thick it's going to take time to dry, I'd estimate 6-8 months.
The images are imaginary - meaning not based on a drawing of a photograph or model.
If you click on the picture, you'll go to the album for this painting at Picasa, and if you'd like to see the original chalk sketch click on the tag, 'The Lady and the Chimera,' and you'll get to the album itself, such as it is, with its two images of the little painting-in-progress.
Photo too dark and fuzzy, but that's ma desk, set presently for painting. The whole rest of my room is practically bed; my workspace, like the painting, very small.
I maintain that it's not free 'time' that you need to create, or 'space,' or an easy life, none of these things in abundance are the magical ingredient, no, not at all. It's allowing whatever it is, the energy, to flow. You could paint in a corner in the dark and if you were open to the energy, a painting would emerge.
