Renovations are underway to my subject matter and final products. The example seen below is a re-purposed canvas spawned from a moment of inspiration. There are a few canvases that need a new breath of life and I'm looking forward to this kind of painting. It allows for a more organic approach focusing on the act of painting instead of the act of manufacturing an image. Both considerations are important, but this method fields a more appropriate ratio of creativity and freedom to contrived machinations some of my figurative work seemed to demand. We'll see, but bottom line, this approach is so much more fun.
