I’m standing in front of the largest painting I’ll be showing at Julie Nester Gallery at the end of July. This has been fun to work on! The painting is much looser and more direct than the other paintings in the show, but it will still fit in with this new body of work.
Check it out…
All my paintings initially have this loose quality, but they become more refined as I add layers. For this one, however, I’ve stayed loose, and some parts are very raw, but it still works because this quality is consistent throughout. The takeaway is that each painting is its own universe, and whether you approach it loosely or more refined, it can hold together as long as that approach is applied throughout. There’s so much freedom in that!
Let me know if the comments if that resonates with you.
This week on the Art2Life Podcast, you’ll get to see my conversation with the amazing artist, Silvia Poloto. We’re making art together and talking about her vibrant art journey and her thirst for the unknown! This exciting episode is available this Wednesday wherever you stream podcasts and you can watch it on our YouTube Channel. Bring along a sketchbook and join us!
Have a happy Sunday!
