Evolution of a painting

This painting from "30 Paintings in 30 Days", hosted by Leslie Saeta, I titled: Perfect Vision.

Of course, perfect vision is impossible, unless you decide "imperfect is the new perfect".


That we all have a biased, fuzzy, fluctuating and partial vision of life, we have our own unique vision. I say embrace this!


My process involves:
  1. posing questions
  2. adding
  3. subtracting
  4. noticing what shows up
  5. staying curious
  6. not hesitating to follow my curiosity.

It about persevering beyond your initial solutions...digging deeper. Sometimes I regret having covered over a previous stage, but what I learn by further investigation is priceless.

Diebenkorn suggests we attempt what is not certain; doing this certainly entertains me!


Creativity isn't about talent, it is a way of operating.

In this first version there is striped collage paper, painted rain, a painted circle on a line (symbol for Sun on the horizon), and images of trees.

In this second version I added the bird,
created a flower in a cut out section,
discovered a very small bird to the top
right of the flower, and I greatly simplified
the background.

This final version has greater visual depth because of
the layering, I added the house image
providing a more poetic statement,
and the copper leaf sits on top for some dazzle.

I am fascinated with the in progress state of paintings. Seeing how a blank canvas develops with its structure, colors, and details into its final form is intriguing and revealing.
