Of course one is making something, generally a painting of some type...but where one gets lost is not in the thinking or imagining a painting, not imagining what it will look like nor is there a wonder in how to do it, but the problem lies in asking oneself what does it express...that is the knotty bit -what do you want it to express? And no sooner do you start asking that instead of just discovering it than your paintings get messed up and you start making dumb ugly things for awhile...until finally you discover something new...and you are happy again...

awesome stuff doug, the bottom one looks like a microscopic view of the inside of a flower bulb or something, or like a sea anemone stinger...
ReplyDeleteyou're right Nick it does look like that...I didn't see it when I made it though...
