I was chugging along with my project to paint a simple object from life and it was going well for awhile. At some point, I found myself dangerously close to the point I was at when the pandemic began where I just did not have enough brain power left at the end of the day to paint. I lost my habit for a long time when that happened and it was hard to get it back. This is one of the last of the daily object paintings. By the way, I like the right side of this one.
I decided that I wanted to keep my daily habit going, but that I needed to back way off to find what I’m calling easy ease and potato chip painting. It’s hard to eat just one potato chip. Well, it’s also hard to paint just one negative space tree. I think I’m going to finish out the rest of the month with these. We will see how I feel when March begins.
I am using these as an excuse to just play and work on my paint strokes. When I look at these, I really want to try and start making marks which are more distinct and less like a melted crayon effect. The second one down is the one I did tonight and it’s trending more in that direction. For some reason, I still want to fill every nook and cranny.
I have also been looking at different tree shapes and playing around with those, a bit, as well.
