Clover, 24" x 24", oil on canvas
Made in early April over the course of 10 days.
I like what happened with the time lapse, drying and layering with this painting. The evolution from pure paint on a white canvas to finished painting continues to impress me. Just a series of moment to moment decisions, reacting to what has been done already and thinking about what else the painting needs. What would finish it.
Some artists call spontaneous paintings happy accidents. They warn that happy accidents cannot happen all the time.
Although this painting was not worked and worked and crafted for months, I don't think spontaneous paintings are the same as happy accidents. They feel like manifestations of energy or consciousness, I'm not really sure yet.
