Sometimes I can’t keep going with what I’m currently doing (as much as I’d like to because it would simplify the process).
It gets to a “ground-hog-day” type thang: “This isn’t working and I can’t tolerate doing the next thing cause I’ll wake up to the same thing tomorrow.”
Hence, “Curvations One”.
There was a recent painting going nowhere. In this instance, I can persist or do “whiteout”.
I chose the “persist” option and tried an approach I’ve not done before: Linear curve embrace.
I honestly don’t know where this came from (and why does it matter and who cares, eh?).
I like curves so got into delineating a few. Figs 1–4 shows the progression.
Fig 1 was: let’s try this.
Fig 2 was: Filling in those shapes.
Fig 3 was: I’m suffocating ... give me something else!
(Fortunately, I’d photographed the development of this experiment so was able to reflect on the perturbations).
Fig 4 was: Hankering for the looseness/freshness of Fig. 1 (though allowing for the dev since then).
