my goal. to paint a simple painting. 2 colors. one flat one strong. simple. easy. it was exactly how i was feeling when i got called to it. 1 brush, 1 pallet knife. boom - you are done.
now.
18 brushes later. 4 crazy different knives and paint everywhere i can't even remember what the vision was in my head i started off with. all i know is now my studio table is a mess and i can't believe what frustration the most simple painting has caused me. although i have to admit i would only allow myself this sort of frustration because i am already so deeply in love with this painting. i love how one side is so flat and the other side has so much goin on in it. that is so indiciative. it is perfect. it is truly honest. it is truly naked. this painting is going to be called, "naked". i think i am going to force myself to finish this paintng. because as i have learned about myself so far. i could paint on one painting forever. literally for an eternity. so toinght i am pulling a force quit. its time for round one to end. big love to you. painting. and good night.

Now I can finally comment - stupid google account. I love your naked painting. It looks marked to me, or scarred in some way. Like perfect milky skin with a big red skinned knee - ha. Love you sweetie.
