In Stillness
Introducing a new painting! This one was one of those that took a really long time to make. I actually found this photo with a digital date stamp reaching back to August of 2011. So, I’m thinking that must be the summer when I started it.
Sometimes you get stuck in the making.
The last couple weeks I’ve been driven to get back into it though. My hands have been in poor shape this last month, so I feel lucky to have been physically able to tackle this one again when I needed to.
About a week and a half or so ago I had it this far…
Honestly, the gradient on the wall interrupted by the door was surprisingly technically challenging. In the beginning I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with that wall, but when I finally had that decided, and then finally managed to get it right, the rest of it was on.
There may be more layers of paint on this one than anything I’ve ever painted before. But I like where it’s landed.
