Paper Work

Painting on paper is a good way to restart the studio.

I'm thinking about the coffee-brown paintings of yore.

As with most of my work, I fall in love with the first mark, and I hate to molest it with subsequent marks. So the whole thing becomes a "pick up sticks" game in reverse order.

The marvel of eyesight is clear to me when I have to use multiple far and close-up foto images to approximate the you-are-there experience.

sometimes when I see the "blow-up" version of the paintings, I wonder if you ever try to paint the blow-up version to start with.

Great question! A proper answer will require a blogpost and some time to put it together. I'm wrangling with a painting at the moment, but I hope to get some breathing room next week or so. The answer is a deep one with open ends.
