Opposing Forces
36"x40"x1.5"
Acrylic on Canvas
In
my last post I chronicled the journey of my painting process. The
painting was a failure, at least I was not happy with it. Thankfully, I
don't give up easily, so I applied a heavy coat of gesso to the canvas
and scraped through the wet gesso to create even more texture.
When the canvas was dry, I started layering more paint and scrubbing out
areas to reveal the underlying layers of color. Finally, after several
hours of work, I was finally satisfied with the result.
Thank you for all the encouraging
comments while I wrestled with this painting. This process is something
that we artists deal with every day. Some days everything just seems
to fall into place, but other days you feel like tearing your hair out.
But, I feel that every struggle results in learning new lessons. And,
as they say, when you stop learning, you're dead!
