I
began painting today on the remnants of discarded Vutek
Prints.These discarded remnants were given to me to test
the durability of the Vutek inks to various methods and
mediums. The substrates vary, and the paintings are all
practice. Without a care for the final image but fueled
by the curiosity of medium response to these unusual substrate
materiels, I am painting freely. The expressions are cloud
related to prepare my hand for the first painting prototype
for Genesis. I am working on three paintings at the moment
- the first of many Practice Paintings. These along with
the Experimental works from last year will be sold in August
to raise money for a trip I am planning for next Winter,
to study the great Cathedrals and Museums of Europe. Perhaps
in Europe I will find a greater apreciation for the Project
and perhaps the Patronage it needs. If not, the education
and experience will be invaluable to my work. It has been
a dream of mine to complete all the great museums of the
world and to witness the great Cathedrals.
Whith
things the way they are politically and militarilly, who
knows how long those beauties may remain available.
At
any rate - being in the studio for just the few hours a
day that I am, feels as though I have come home. Amazingly,
I have not lost any painting skill over the domant years.
