The sec­ond week of Thread, in progress, explor­ing the work and my inter­ac­tion with my model. This ses­sion was more relaxed and easy, allow­ing me to delve into the paint­ing, dis­cov­er­ing col­ors, edges and sur­faces. I use a very lim­ited palette when I am paint­ing fig­ures. I use pri­maries and neu­trals that don’t dis­tract me from the form and the energy. While I was work­ing on the col­lar bones, a strange acid green came to the fore. I’ve dis­cov­ered the same green in Cacoph­ony, an acrylic abstract that I’d done with the same model. This green had never found it’s way into my work before that paint­ing. I’m enjoy­ing it’s pres­ence in Thread. I intend to work on these piece over the com­ing weeks until it tells me to stop.
