it was not easy
to find the nerve to paint you
start… stop… grrrr… tommy!!! 🦊❤️
My latest painting, “Tommy” sat unfinished for nearly 6 months. I could not “solve the problem” of how to paint him. Recently I tried to finish the painting while in a period of being “blocked” artistically. After a day’s effort I decided that it was time to abandon the effort after making a mess of the piece. I decided to stop trying and just toss the work in progress. After being urged on by Yulan combined with my own stubbornness, I painted over the mess I made of Tommy’s form and started again. Mark by mark, Tommy started to appear. It is a 16”x20” acrylic work. As with all my paintings… I look at the finished painting and ask, “How did I do that?” I hope you enjoy looking at “Tommy”. 🦊❤️
