I've been pretty regular in my art practice lately.
Totally a Good Thing.
Because I'm more balanced.
TOTALLY a Good Thing.
Only what I've been making hasn't really been turning my crank.
But it's about P.R.A.C.T.I.C.E. right?
I have a metric buttload of 5x7s. so I've been churning out highly textured itty bitty canvases at a rapid pace. only they kinda suck. or at least are boring. or they just look ... I dunno... too much like ME.
So I got this idea ...such a light-bulb moment you might want to sit down... why not use these textured pieces as ...ya know... backgrounds? I know. Right? Like NO ONE has ever done that before. Ever. (oy!)
Anyway. I got out my giant graphite stick and did a swoop. or two. oh! kinda looks like a head or ... I know... a face! hey. if I don't like'em I can always slop a coat of gesso over'em and give it another go. oh. boy. these do not look like anything I've ever done before. Good Thing #3. I'm not sure I like them as finished pieces. but for now? they'll do Pig. they'll do.
fwiw, #4 is my fave. Tom likes #3 ... what about you? which one is your favourite? or do you hate them all?
