Now I know why I struggled with this painting for four years! The foundation was wrong… (the eyes were too wide set)…so I’m going to try fix that without having to paint her all over again!
I most definitely do not want to paint those teeth again!!!! She’s sitting bit too high….whaaaa? No way…no how am I going to try to reproduce this painting as an exact likeness of photo….(forget that!!!). Just need to focus ….fix her eyes, jawline, hair ….fix face without touching teeth….aww man!!!!!!! Just sat in the kitchen and burnt my turkey rashers!!!! Wow…this damn painting!!!! Might just have to paint her out and start over!!!! I hate this….(I’m most definitely not going to start over). wtf!!!!
Spontaneity is the watchword that informs my art practice. My artwork celebrates the energy of abstract expressionism.
'why not?' underlines my creative process. Forget the box! Its obsolete...it's all about whatever shape you want to throw on that dance floor! The process drives my practice!! For me, work well done is work I have thoroughly enjoyed making...work that has made me think, sweat, cry, scream and come back for more!!! Work that gets my back up; pushes me...gives me cause for doubt. Makes me push in order for 'why not?' to become possible. Boundaries? What boundaries?
