PICASSO's DUST - contemporary art
'Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life' (Pablo Picasso)
Creative failures...?
I tend to keep reworking falures, as per my 'palimpsest' approach, so many of these are buried underneath more successful paintings.
![]() FadelandGot bored with it... | ![]() Ghost trees IIItoo vague | ![]() Red valleyOverpainted, and lost the saturated colour |
---|---|---|
![]() Moorland | ![]() BeachAll wrong, wrong! | ![]() First time backHadn't painted in about 10 years, and it shows! |
![]() Dracula's bridgeIt looked better when I painted it back in January.... | ![]() Australian beachCouldn't get the right perspective, so used this as the basis for 'Slashed light' | ![]() Lost waterThis was shaping up well and then I ruined it by overpainting. |
![]() Flanders fieldThis was originally a pallid landscape that I tried to rework into something to do with trees and fire (or blood), but not very convincingly..... | ![]() Eye of the storm'Flanders field' then became this, but everyone hated it, so it's going toward the rubbish heap...the canvas has been so overworked, it's actually come loose on the stretcher. | ![]() Flat mountain |
![]() Mountains, mountains... | ![]() More mountains.... | ![]() Lakes? Hmm.... |
![]() And we have... a tram. Why? | ![]() FirestormTrying to get the sky right - but not much else in this | ![]() Storm and shipI liked it but nobody else did |
![]() WadingThis one got some good feedback, but it lacked movement to me; it's been painted over 5 times... |
