After last week's content-less, material-oriented paintings, let's try deeply involving yourself in an image.
Above is a painting I did after a cold-water, long distance swim in Rockport... out and around the harbor breakwater. The water temp.was in the mid-50's. It was an intense physical experience.
The painting,"The Rockport Swim", is 10x12 feet in size.
Try something intense and deeply held in your mind and body as a starting point for your imagery.
But don't forget that ultimately painting is about paint!
see you next week, John.
