How can painting a horizontal line created by the sky and sea be SO difficult!! I have spent the best part of today working and reworking two paintings on canvas, with the intention of creating works that evoke a sense of the sublime and awe. It has proved to be more challenging than I could have imagined..I suppose what I am trying to acheive… and the actual efforts and realities of the results have driven me back to the drawing board.
I have to re-consider, Colour, form ratio, and what effects am I hoping to gain from this work.
Calm
tranquility
serenitny
lumioncity
sublime…
Must revisit how other artists responded with colour…
Color is everything. When color is right, form is right.
Marc Chagall.
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet.
I may need to consider working on smaller canvas, keep developing techniques and consider what I am attempting to acheive.. note..re-look at Doig, Rothko, O’Keeffe’s techniques.
