recorded noise the autobiography project monthly archives august 2013 standard posted by beckoningchasm posted on august 24 2013 posted under painting comments 2 comments paintblog the end of august edition so this entry will summarize the work that s been done during the month of august 2013 i don t want to disappoint you well not too much anyway but i did nothing on the canvases you ve already seen as i said in my last non entry my new philosophy seems to be why finish anything when you can start something else and move the problem down the road so here s what we started with either in late july or early august yes it s our old friend the blank canvas let s have a round of applause for the elder statesman the man who will be better known than i in a dozen years hence there are some colors that i rarely use and i thought that i d give them a try among those colors are purple and orange both seem far too specific for me in that they conjure up only a limited number of possible paths in other words they seem to control the canvas more than the brushwork or my own ideas but what the heck yes we started with some blobs of paint placed mostly in the upper right corner the idea was to sweep them downward and to the left as you can see there are more colors there than just orange and purple i ve added some blues some raw umber cadmium yellow and a bunch of white just to help keep the colors from turning into one dark mass i used latex gloves and wax paper in the initial smearing below is the result it s hard to see in my admittedly terrible photography but the paint is really thick on the canvas i used a small piece of cardboard comes in a box of canned cat food to further scrape at the paint to spread it more evenly across the canvas using the cardboard and gloved hands i was able to cover the entire canvas so what was the result of all this here s another photograph of the same equally bad but in a too washed out sense instead of too dark to see clearly one thing you might notice where the heck did all the purple and orange go wasn t that the whole point of this where the heck did all this green come from there seems to be something happening in the upper left taking a brush i used some of my orange and purple to well randomly do random things in the upper left it suggested a bubble or the eye of an amphibian well let s see what a little highlighting in white will do that shows promise not sure what kind of promise but it looks like something instead of a waste of time and paint here s a close up let s add some more highlighting as long as we start hearing the proper direction we should be okay with a bit of guided randomness and some blue in the lower right i was looking for some leftover green to try and strengthen the carpet that was already there and i couldn t find any of that green left over where d it go then i looked at my original blog photos i didn t use any green the blue cadmium yellow and orange made a strange kind of plant green i ll have to try that again someday but for now i used some of the leftover blue instead not french ultramarine but turquoise i think there s a sweep of it in the lower right we let a couple of weeks pass looking at the canvas every day and asking it what are you are you an eye or a drop of water or something else entirely and the canvas didn t say anything it was silent not out of arrogance or hubris but because it genuinely didn t know either well time to take some kind of plunge let s move away from highlighting and look into some shadows raw umber will do though we should be careful wow that s pretty good let s see that in close up just before preparing this blog entry i was fighting a bunch of flies must be all the corpses in the basement and i knocked the canvas off the easel not to worry the paint was all dry but when i put it back up on the easel just for fun i put it sideways oh wow that definitely looks promising it s much more evocative of something than the other orientation which kept flipping between possibility and dead end this looks like it might work and that s where we stand as of the end of august or close enough we ll see where or if it goes as always thanks for stopping by standard posted by beckoningchasm posted on august 10 2013 posted under painting paintblog august interruption i actually started on another painting because why finish anything when you can start something else i took some pictures but i m not quite ready to post them yet it s not a terribly interesting work so far well honestly none of them are interesting me all that much lately that s four recent works as well as one that s from last year none of them are demanding anything and i haven t felt like doing anything with them maybe it s the heat anyway thanks for stopping by search recent posts happy part 2 july 2026 june 2026 may 2026 april 2026 recent comments sorialpromise on june 2026 beckoningchasm on june 2026 sorialpromise
