No more panic paintings…honest
This year so far the paintings left unfinished or turned to the wall as result of failure or not knowing how to continue are staking up. On the up side I like painting over paintings I like the texture and the shadow of things previous, on the down side it’s getting disheartening. I was telling myself it was down to experimentation but it may be panic which is not so good. I come home from work and think right I have 2hrs before I get the kids must paint, grab a canvas and start with no or little preparation. My lino prints on the other hand have been much more satisfying lately. They don’t get started until I know exactly how I want the image, then I can work in bits and when tired because I know what I am doing and where I am going.
I am going to try and put the same level of prep into the paintings and see what happen (several blog entry’s on I will no doubt complain about lack of spontaneity!)
