Above is a four foot by 2 foot display of flow. I don't consider this a "done" painting. This isn't even its orientation. I just thought I would point it out before I went any furthur with it. Now that you've seen it, I can go ahead and risk destroying it.The painting below came out of nowhere. It has been leaning in a corner and occasionally cries out for attention. I would walk over to it and stroke it now and then. Last night, however, it began to oscillate, and I panicked at the doors of possibility it kicked open.
I have been trying to keep those doors locked.

i think Harold peed in the water.
you should look at darren waterston at Michael Kohn gallery
Jacques, I think I saw Darren's first solo show at the Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle. . . 1993? He has been on my radar for a long time. While I see these "Test Flights" as studies, I wonder when I will be feeling confident enough to spend the time on them that Darren does. Heck, you even spend YEARS on paintings. These were executed in minutes. . . although there is an argument for including all the living that built up to those minutes. . .
I'm definitely adding glazes to my lexicon. This adds time. Does a glaze turn a drawing into a painting?
