The galaxy came easy on Saturday morning and filled an empty space that had been there before. The fish came shortly after that, along with the bear and when I added layers of modeling paste on Wednesday the political phallus also fell into place. I had a strong desire to paint tangerines on Sunday while listening to Lhasa’s anywhere on this road.
On Wednesday night I felt a sudden boost of energy and I needed to paint blue. This blue is the second generation of a mixture I did last summer. I kept a small sample and when I ran out of that blue I used it to re-mix it and to match the new mixture with the original sample. I tried to keep track of the amount of different shades of blues in it and I even wrote some notes down. I was painting intensively for hours to the point I made the vertical lines in modeling paste, they sobered me up and I lost the desire to proceed. The same night I had a dream about me standing in front of an old-fashion and massive iron oven, resting on short iron legs. When I looked inside I didn’t see a fire as one would expect but two or three shafts that would spin very fast and where covered with little iron spikes . I threw a dollar bill into the oven and it got shredded into a million little pieces within a second. I woke up and felt great.
The next night I added an extra layer of paste over the two big white round forms and evened the grooves in it to achieve a smooth surface, having a calm sea in mind.
I still want to do something about the tangerines and bring more detail into different parts. The white round shapes might become light blue and there is a color in the lower part I am not sure about yet, maybe some dark redish.
