I am continuing to paint on glass for monoprinting. I like the quick build up of wet paint and the stickiness the printing medium gives it. I seem to have a confidence and a directness that I am loosing when I move over to larger canvases. I am giving them a heavy ground to reduce the absorbency, although I am thinking of getting some wood or gesso panels to try, maybe a bigger brush a different painting medium. Oh I love to play with paint! So what of the subject, I often feel it is more about the seductive qualities of the paint but I want (think I want) my marks to describe something, water, sand, sky, lichen, rock, light, mood, feelings. I can’t quite believe I have got to this point and feel like I am starting out brand new. Is it the beginning of something or am I having some sort of mid life crisis. I feel like what I am trying to do is so close I could just reach out and touch it. Then the paintings would flow out of me like water from a broken dam. Think I better shush and go get that big brush.
