The pallete is like a landscape to be travelled and mined for pigment in this case. Occasionally I loose track of a colour and stumble across another resulting in happy accidents and at other times lost days fumbling around to recover a painting from a divergence in colour pallete consistency. Right now this is the situation with ‘Fish Out of Water’. Today I am back in the studio attempting to recover this painting, putting aside the free abandon with which I began this work. Discipline is needed to push on with eyes open and brittle edges soothed.
Moving a bit too slowly. Fingers crossed I can bring the Galaxias into being today.
This way of working with a ‘disorganised’ palette for me, supports intuitive processes, discovery, creation, exploration and infinite possibilities within the boundaries of the kidney shaped board.
