I really like the first image with its beautiful colour and yes, maybe leave it aside or a while and your can come back to it with fresh eyes later.<BR/>ronellAfricantapestry and Myfrenchkitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721198951463440836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-24436374480635069702009-03-08T10:40:00.000+00:002009-03-08T10:40:00.000+00:00I dont know why I havnt commented before now as I ...I dont know why I havnt commented before now as I keep looking at these, the strips revealed reminds me of when you glimpse a little blue beyond a storm, a hint that all the world isnt caught up in the weather you are in, plus I love the colours.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193935968877679533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-79957495484947941932009-03-01T17:14:00.000+00:002009-03-01T17:14:00.000+00:00Tina,I like this a lot too - not saying it is not ...Tina,<BR/><BR/>I like this a lot too - not saying it is not problematic. The first one is interesting because of it's lines and definitions and seeing it worked to a higher key unsettles that. <BR/><BR/>The taped off sections - hm... I'm curious to see how this may change in response to Vivien's points on intervals and rhythms. I remember your piece which worked with Twombly's lines, and it was fascinating to see how your worked these in, they changed, got reworked and became something very interesting. This may be were the taped sections could go too? Though their uniformity may be more difficult to integrate, but it looks like a good challenge in any case.Gesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808430595430298345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-37482167358539736382009-02-27T01:10:00.000+00:002009-02-27T01:10:00.000+00:00I particularly like the diagonal lines in the firs...I particularly like the diagonal lines in the first image, and that bottom curve: it's like the way a wave flicks up as it crashes down.<BR/><BR/>The contrast of the soft blended areas and the hard edges of the tape is very interesting. Maybe another set of tape angled on the diagonal?<BR/><BR/>I agree that some time away from it might make a solution clearer.Caroline Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217379847105793214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-55513874564547656312009-02-27T00:39:00.000+00:002009-02-27T00:39:00.000+00:00Sometimes ideas don't move in the direction we ori...Sometimes ideas don't move in the direction we originally wanted them to.<BR/><BR/>I really do love this painting. The movement and colours are beyond wonderful. The lines are distracting in some ways, but in others, it makes me want to peer into the glimpse of another world behind the water, so it appeals to me in that sense.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Laura, let it sit for a few days and see what it tells you to do. The painting is always right in its advice.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-53512611454971467942009-02-27T00:25:00.000+00:002009-02-27T00:25:00.000+00:00I think the piece has a lot of possibility, but I ...I think the piece has a lot of possibility, but I would get rid of the taped sections---they seem gimmicky and arbitrary in the context of the painting and are causing problems as a result.<BR/>I'd let this one breathe on its own for a while and start one or two other pieces. The way forward might become clearer after a period of benign neglect.Laura Frankstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528540633399368216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-76458019583723665052009-02-27T00:06:00.000+00:002009-02-27T00:06:00.000+00:00I like the very first image because it has so much...I like the very first image because it has so much movement. The second image has some punched up values and I think this adds to the drama. I also like the disoientation of no horizon line. Perhaps, hew to your original impulse? It's an interesting problem.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142884023928819776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-74689292188708886072009-02-26T22:37:00.000+00:002009-02-26T22:37:00.000+00:00mmm I agree good analysisit's a question of in...mmm I agree good analysis<BR/><BR/>it's a question of intervals and equal spaces too - I feel there is not enough variation and difference in those intervals '<BR/><BR/>- straight lines, particularly all the same width, sort of fight the rough sea idea to me and calm it down <BR/><BR/>There are lovely elements<BR/><BR/>- working further on it I'm sure you'll pull it round though :>)vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-53695465632033638602009-02-26T19:26:00.000+00:002009-02-26T19:26:00.000+00:00I think you've done a very thorough analysis of th...I think you've done a very thorough analysis of the problem you've presented yourself with.
