A Covert Flirt, mixed media on birch, 8 x 8"
In painting, there really never is a dull moment. Each minute is consumed with staying in the moment, pushing oneself a little more, trying something different, or resorting to the same-old. Today, I started with collage; added paint; left parts of the birch un-attended to; and then began to extend or exaggerate the images I had included in this painting. And, in some crazy way, I think that Manny Faber was watching ... if you are not acquainted with the work of Manny Farber*, please look this artist up in Google.
* Manny Farber was one of the first San Diego artist whose work struck me to my core! And, I was fortunate to meet him; even more fortunate to purchase one of his paintings. And. I am equally delighted to count his daughter, Amanda Farber -- also a wonderful artist -- as another artful connection in San Diego.
