pentimento redux

I've been very pensive the last few days, for many reasons, some apparent, some not so apparent. I find my thinking somewhat clouded and redundant at times, but an occasional flash appears through the fog. But the sunlight does not always reveal anything like a clear purpose. This is the third attempt at writing this post. My work hs alwasy been very formal about the issues of design, color and layering of media to produce something coherent and aesthetically pleasing or stimulating. I must confess that I do not pretend to any great thought or earth-shattering meaning in my work, but I hope that a richness of content and meaning by reduction appears to the viewer. If it is meaniningful to you in some way, then I have been successful, or most likely, the process has occasionally struck gold. The digital paintings are built layer upon layer upon layer until the original layer is no longer recognizable. Art is somewhat like archaeology, meaning becomes more apparent as the layers are stripped away in the latter, and the opposite occurs in the process of art as layers are added. So for me, art is a reverse archaeology, an archaeology of the soul, a methodology of the spirit. There, I've done it again/ Another feeble attempt at rational thought in an attempt to shd some light into the shadows. Thanks for listening. Please do not laugh too loudly but do enjoy it. The misspoellings are free.

Pentimento

gesture - digital painting

 

FIELDS1

This was painted this morning after reading Artmixter's two most recent posts. this piece is about fields, both of color, of walls, and plowed an planted, real an imagined, subject to relativity theory and not. It is gestural with a strong caligaraphic element.. I seek understanding but always run up against language. This is acrylic, india ink, and oil on canvasboard.
