Lavender Blanket
I’ve been working on this painting, on and off, for about a month. When it was just started, it was quite beautiful. Honestly, I could have stopped then, but opted to push on. Its been lost and found a few more times as I’ve dragged and pushed it along. The last move was quite intuitive. “Paint everything with lavender”, a voice whispered. “Hmmmm”, I thought “that could ruin all of the work I’ve done – or it might help me break through to something unexpected”. So, lavender it was – over the entire painting. I then spend a few hours wiping places away, looking for what was going to happen. And, this is how it has ended up. Truly tricky to catch the colors in a photo – lots of greyness happening. The car lights in the distance might be my favorite part. Or maybe the water flying off of the Jetta.
This will be on display at the Architectural Heritage Center in about a week. And will be up through January 31st.
