Over the summer I’d been playing with the idea of
using golf courses as a subject matter.
Nothing much came from it so
yesterday I got out the Coloraide paper and started simplifying.
I tried to limit the shapes, colors and values
and just let the paper do it’s thing!
When I started cleaning up,
I realized that the negative shapes of paper that were left behind
could be used for a more abstract look.
Just placing the papers on a support in different patterns and arrangements
(before gluing) was inspiring and great therapy!
Like many artists these days, I’m having a hard time focussing
on one thing and feel rather rudderless.
For now, I just keep showing up in the studio
with the hope that something wonderful will happen!
Hang in there artist friends.
