what i'm interested in regards to painting:
- spontaneous gesture
- obsession
- compulsion
- neurosis
- self picking at
- self flagellation
- internal vs external
- alienation
- power struggle
- power play
- bursting at the seams
- over-pouring
- drips
- drops
- splitters and splat
- paint as blood
- paint as skin
- paint as mud
- paint as its own wild animal
- paint as snot and scabs
- paint as scum
- grit
- grime
- wabi sabi
- paint as easy to handle
- paint as hard to hold
this list makes me feel like i should be more abstract...
....it also makes me want to paint more portraits.
