Studio playtime 

Oils and cold wax medium on 8x8 inch canvas 

Musings....

I love to play with paint.

Making experimental marks 

can give surprising results.

I enjoy the pleasure of just putting colour

on a surface...any surface.

Any colours.

Anyone who reads my Blog 

will remember how I have 

played around with this picture.

To be honest it has become 

a little obsessive.

The picture is getting heavy with

many layers of paint.

Previously...

The temptation to tamper

was too great and I decided to play. 

It doesn’t matter if the picture is ‘ruined’,

the benefits of play outweigh any

feelings of sorrow.

Yellow was the choice.

I mixed a pile of paint and wax

and whizzed the oils across

the top of the canvas with a large roller.

Goodness!

Now the whole dynamic has changed.  

Having fun I turned to a little 

8x8 canvas which was on my table.

I could use up the leftover oils here.

The play continued and this one

morphed into the picture below.

Bold marks and a few scribbles in the

wet paint have given the painting some life.

A little picture with personality.

Until next time...

Thank you for visiting.
