I’ve only just finished painting, this is the latest I’ve painted in the evening (from about 8.30 to 9.15 pm). I’m tired, I’ve really pushed myself a lot this afternoon and this evening, and writing this post seems like just too much for my brain right now. So I’m going to keep it short.
I did my journalling this morning, it was more of a return to my usual approach, I just wrote about everyday stuff that was on my mind. This veered off into a discussion/rant about the use of the terms ‘authentic’ as being your ‘authentic self’ and ‘manifestation’ as in manifest magically all the stuff in your life that you want, that’s become part of the maninstream in popular ‘spirituality’. I don’t have the answers but I think there’s a lot of stuff out there you need to negotiate your way around carefully.
For my painting I did some backgrounds again earlier in the day. I chose to use black and white and apply the paint with the plastic palette knife. I used a bit too much paint so it was a bit messy. I came back to this much later in the day and painted over it. I am not very happy with my efforts today but I have learned that I don’t have the same level of concentration or focus when I’m overtired! So I’m not sure what to make of to my painting tonight. I used pink and blues mixed with white and a small brush. Today was the first of these paintings done and photographed under electric light. Images below.
