a place for the marks
The brush strokes go on, dark lines on a white ground. The shape is outlined, the composition begins, the form evolves, there is no turning back.
It takes a powerful commitment to make the decision to proceed with a picture. To distil the images, drawings and photographs, from many sittings, to make the one and only painting.
No matter how good the painting, if the composition doesn’t work, the picture doesn’t work. It takes a lot of looking to find the composition that works, or that says what I want it to say.
