Fall

Fall  Mixed media and collage on recycled paper  29x41cm.

The third painting after my 3 weeks break, and it is the first one, that I am happy with ! 
Like with everything, painting needs exercise and work and work and work :) I heart from one artist (Horst Janssen) that he would draw first thing in the morning 50 (!!!!) hands, before he would even start to do his own work for the day .... Just to loosen up. I think I need to get back to my small sketchbook to loosen up again and be more experimental ! How do you loosen up ?

  2. A fabulous autumn piece! I loosen up by working on a painting that is not doing anything - nothing to loose...often I start to like it, leave it a while and go on to another one. I always have many going at the same time...

  5. The painting is awesome! I like the words in it, i also use words in my art. I know exactly what you mean: drawing is natural for me, it goes well, but to paint is always a struggle for me. And i am too strict, therefore the painting isn't waht i want it to be, to loosen up is what i try, but i have a long way to go.
