So I reworked the white (what were going to be) text paintings yesterday. I decided on trying to make "automatic paintings" as an homage to JMD, and the process of his late work. If you've been reading this blog, you'll know that I'm very skeptical of the idea. I tried to think less, run with a stronger sort of immediacy, let my body do more of the work, and to trust my instincts. I am, however, keenly aware that those 'instincts' are highly refined through twenty years of practice and mediated by 39 years of looking. So if I was drawing from my "subconscious", I know that
interior is not virginal terrain. But whatever. It was fun, and MORE IMPORTANTLY: they look like real paintings
finally. (Er, I think. For now, at least.) They're still super hard to photograph because they're playing with warm and cool within tones of white. The top layers are warmer and painted with oil paint. The under layers are cool and painted with acrylic.

I was recommended this blog 'text paintings' through my friend. You have shared really an incredible post. Each time I used to read smaller articles or reviews which as well clear their motive, and that is also happening with this article which I am reading at this place. Express the things with short content. Here I would like to share about essay writing service reviews from which all readers can feel the same thing. Thanks!
