18″ x 24″ x 2″ $575.00 USD oils on canvas Here is the quote that helped inspire the work: The work was like peeling an onion. The outer skin came off with difficulty… but in no time you’ d be down to its innards, tears streaming from your eyes as more and more beautiful reductions became possible. -Edward Blishen This abstract, mixed media oil painting took a year to complete. You’ll be saying…”no way BAD! Kitty, really?” (maybe not but I like to think about you all reading this and in my head you talk back, sometimes…no I’m not crazy, OK maybe a little bit) The simple answer is yes. I have painted this canvas 5 times. I hated each painting, and it would get thrown in the corner to wait until I had run out of supplies again. Well, I ran out of supplies. I picked up the cursed canvas and plopped it down on the easel. Then I stared reducing the very abstract color riot that was there. It started working! I felt something give inside my head and I finished this work over the last week. I had to wait for the paint to dry each time, because…like I said I’m outta supplies and therefore no drying alkyds. OMG! I hate waiting for paint to dry, but nothing but oils give the depth of color and texture, IMHO, of course. The picture of the wooden dressmakers dummy is one that I have had in my special pile for years, he had to become an enlightened fairy with dusty butterfly wings for this world. Dontcha’ think? Yeah, me too. Prepped and glued and textured him in there and bam! it feels good and done now. The background is a sunny orange/yellow, but very soft. I really liked how free this one made me feel…I think the whimsy may be returning on its own. Isn’t that nice? Have a great day and thanks for being here. Heather |
