(even kelli phones in).<BR/><BR/><I>As for how I start the image, I make many drawings, all pretty shitty and sketchy, mostly just for compositional reasons. Then I draw onto the canvas with canvas, usually freehand, but sometimes I use a projector for certain pieces of furniture. Then I just go at with paint, working pretty fast and letting things develop as they may. The paintings never turn out as I planned, which for me, is kind of exciting.</I><BR/><BR/>Thanks for that info Rosson. I had thought the plumes and fumes were overlays, braids of different armatures, stuff like that. That they are part of the intuitive journey greatly adds to the paintings' voracity. It's hard to tell these days how an artist pulls a painting together, except with what you see (for me often only as a jpeg). <BR/>I think it still pretty true that whatever it takes is the important element. That is takes little more than getting in there with the work, fresh, working visually instead of over theorizing and over conceptualizing is as exciting as ever for painting.<BR/><BR/>I doubt if anyone is bitter more putting out some humor and a personal climate rain-dropping in an effort to communicate.

Quite like a stage set builder but in paint--and using your painterly instincts--stroke by stroke, drip by drip. <BR/><BR/>Paint as a metaphor upholding the fascination with the idea itself. I hope that makes sense?<BR/><BR/>I look forward to your future work!heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220223053250875103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1164954878609326162006-12-01T01:34:00.000-05:002006-12-01T01:34:00.000-05:00*draw on canvas with pencil* silly*draw on canvas with pencil* sillyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1164954781344676912006-12-01T01:33:00.000-05:002006-12-01T01:33:00.000-05:00thousand points of light- vidler is one of my favo...thousand points of light- vidler is one of my favorites! i found 'warped space' very influential on my work, not to mention 'architectural uncanny'. I also LOVED 'vatican to vegas', an amazing book! Harbison has written great books on the perception of space as well.<BR/>OK heidilolatheayatollah,<BR/>As for how I start the image, I make many drawings, all pretty shitty and sketchy, mostly just for compositional reasons. Then I draw onto the canvas with canvas, usally freehand, but sometimes I use a projector for certain pieces of furniture. Then I just go at with paint, working pretty fast and letting things develop as they may. The paintings never turn out as I planned, which for me, is kind of exciting. The actual painting of an image doesn’t take me that long. I hate fussy and over worked paintings. For me, the process of making a painting is one of exploration and fun.<BR/>Do I think of the mood I want to project? Sometimes I do, and other times it just happens on its own. Ultimately, I think that whatever ive been reading or thinking about lately comes out in the work, i.e. vidler and poe means spookier, ‘learning form las vegas’ chintzier or jane austen subtler.
