9x12x1.5, oil and cold wax on couched hardwoodMy mojo is back. Or at least within reach. You know what I mean? You can feel it out there, and you just might have a hold on it. I'm not quite sure yet, since I'm coming back after some excitement (OK, tenth wedding anniversary trip to Paris) (and some other stuff), but things are starting to gel again. I'm playing with the cold wax techniques from the workshop (see my summer posts) as well as my prior methods. Soon I'll start to meld them.
Meanwhile, this is another painting from that workshop. I love purple and green (OK, greenish-yellow) together and this also has some delicious texture. After I got it to a point I liked, I burnished it. That removed lost some of the intensity from the color, so I went back in and boosted that. Still learning, still playing.
I'm also having some serious fun playing with intense textures, and I'll post some of those soon. Nice to be back.
(I'm probably not supposed to use words like "mojo," am I? I mean, I'm a middle-aged white-bread type. But it felt right.)
Oh THAT'S where white women go to get their mojo. Paris! Of course! Congratulations on 10 years, Connie.
ReplyDeleteThis color combination is tres chic. I like the subtle gradation of intensity of pigment. Stronger at the band of red in the center then a foggy cool pink next to it. I think the romantic air of Paris must still be clinging to you.
