I am sitting here, at the hospital, waiting for my daughter to finish her surgery, a short procedure of taking her ear tubes out, following two year of not being able to swim of fear of getting liquids to her ears. So, even though it is the simplest procedure, and it will be over in no time, sighing up all these forms remides me of the fragility of our lives. How important health is. How much we do not appreciate our healthy organs and destroying our health with stress, aimless fears, and endless diets.
Anyway, the pictures you see here in an update from my studio. These are two canvases of 48″x60″ each. It is not a new technique for me. I have been using it in my painting on and off in varies ways so far. It takes me back to my childhood when I used to scribble with black ink pen on white paper. In this technique, though, I learned as an adult that when I add colors as you can see in the second picture, I have to cover all the white areas before I can start going deep into the images and consider the whole composition. So what you see in this picture is the covering of the white areas. It is only the first layers though. It will change along the way.
So enjoy.
