Not only would he disregard parts of the work that he was not involved in (had he become bored after so many years of painting?) but he would paint on anything that was handy, without priming raw board, using anything that was around, and as a result left a collection of work that was going to deteriorate quickly. His works are of such a range, but he kept them all. <br />On my easel at the moment is a work that I am (to my surprise) viewing in the same way. I am not interested in painting part of what I need for the composition to work. I've not experienced that before. <br />Are we becoming a little too disconnected, or are we simply being honestly involved in some parts and less attentive to the others? Is it good, or is it bad? I don't have an answer, and tomorrow I hope to paint again and this time it will be with a watching eye on myself! Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237406486736942911noreply@blogger.com
