Wiprout; Hey-ey!

 

Oil on canvas, 20" x 16", 2/16/2022

I was trying to write "wipeout" and made a typo, liked it better and left it; that's somewhat in keeping with the process of how this piece went. I didn't like the initial painting so I scraped it off with a knife, and this is what was already too dry or tacky to come off. A lot of my abstracts proceed that way: I dislike it and go to wipe it out, and wind up liking the wipeout better.

 Plus it looks (to me) like it's throwing parts of itself "up in the air" so, "Hey-ey!"   

I like, to an extent at least, that it reminds me of old wallpaper that's been scraped off. Maybe I should call it, Tracks of a Disaster.

16" x 20" acrylic and Liquin on canvas. Possibly finished, possibly underpainting for an action passage to come ... 

I'm starting to wonder if what's left of my interest in painting is perhaps more spiritual than artistic, and may in fact have always been.
