Last year I began a new painting that was originally thought to become a monochrome white painting. During the process of making I had a feeling that I wasn’t really making a white monochrome but that something else was to happen later but I just didn’t know what it might be at that time. Once the painting was “finished” with the initial completion I did what I always do. Took photos and a video and put it back on the wall until I began the next large painting. It turned out that next painting also wasn't finished as I had also thought. But I had yet to realize these things. Fast forward to a few months ago (around June) I began noticing the original black and gold painting seemed lacking and so I began the process of learning what it needed and I gave it to it and knew once it was completed with the violet added to the black paint, that I knew then that the white painting that had been the previous painting needed more. So as you can tell by the images there is a new layer of wrapping of thick rope and also painted not only the backside but also the front which gave even more dimension to the painting by allowing the previous painting to continue, along with a new set of levels behind and in front with many wonderful vibrant colors.
Enjoy the pics.
