I noticed a long time ago that the paintings seem to carry premonitions, messages, It sometimes becomes evident to me later on. Now, I like to paint a painting before I embark on a new journey,... it shows me the shapes and colors of the path and of the outcome. I had no idea that even the flowers did that...It's probably my subconscious working through the art mediums. I feel that I have to add more glowing orange to the background of the exotic flowers, but only enough to retain the warmth of the background. I will also add a bit of red madder to the flowers themselves to soften them. I have to find the name of those flowers. The title must have the word, memory, in it. Funny, how titles change and can be many at the same time. A painting can have layers of meaning, beginning with the subjective and sometines blending with the universal.
I was happy to meet Z in my studio. Z seems to understand a lot about art...very perceptive and intelligent, even inspiring! I am already thinking of a portrait composition...Have to do some research on bears and bulls. So far I have painted a cat, quite by chance, and sketched a dog and some horses. I've always wanted to do something with animals and people on the same canvas....so little time for all the ideas...Tomorrow I will begin a new painting of S.
