Fast and Furious

You know how some folks do five-minute paintings?

Or 20-second paintings, for Pete's sake?

Those folks?

They would not be I.

Parallel play continues here: bathroom mess increases by the minute, studio is barely recognizable.

FEMA may be called in.

Before, during, after:

from this 8x10" start,



to this 4x5" quadrant,



to this coverup,



to a completed painting.

This is a WOW! So dramatic! Your courage never ceases to amaze me. Recognize top left quadrant rotated. then further rotation down the line! Kol ha kavod!

Thanks, Carol. My days this week have been overfull, and demanding, with way too many details to keep sorted with any kind of ease, but I sure have enjoyed my studio time : ) Good eyes, identifying and following the rotations of this little quadrant! After I signed it, I still kept turning it and turning it—each orientation had something to say.

I admire you keeping (sort of) cool in the mess!

Mess seems to agree with your inner muse. She is fearless and tenacious and also the wittiest of writers! Love this little piece.

Thanks, Simone. I can't say I'm keeping cool (sort of sounds about right!) but I continue to paint and continue to love doing so.

Jen, thank you. My inner muse has indeed felt fearless and tenacious, and frisky when writing—outer messes be damned!

Love those bold black shapes and lines mixed with gorgeous color!!! Love the unfinished "bridge". Makes me wonder, and it feels slightly, hazardous. LOL :)

The bold black shapes are hand-painted collage paper—altogether great grand fun. Painting is risky—maybe that's where the hazardous bridge came from!!
