Dramatic title but its true. I am still at the start of a ‘transformation’. What I know about art that interests me is not what is depicted but how it is depicted. So its not the subject that’s at fault if the paintings are dull. I am going through this ‘pain barrier’ at the moment. The easiest thing to do would be to throw in the towel and try some other subject matter, but you will just come up against the same problem.
So for this painting, firstly I have started it in acrylic, a first, and I have not used these seriously for about 30 years!. Also, its 2 birds, another first, and the dimensions have almost doubled in size. Also, I am not trying to create a naturalistic setting, its more abstracted.
Two birds. At the end of day 1.
