painting

red (detail)

For a few months, I have not been able to paint. Not for lack of time, but I could not think of what to do and seemed to have used up my ideas. So I painted this square canvas blood-red, layer upon layer, trying to make a perfect smooth surface of red. I knew that I would not leave it thus, and a few days ago I picked up my paint and started with bold lines weaving across the space. This is a new direction for my, but evolved clearly from my earlier approach.
