Title: Magic
Mountain
About this Painting:I painted this last semester in Painting III class. Our assignment was self-directed. I decided to do a Pleasure Project. The previous project was on birth and death. One of my class mates refused to do the Death painting because she would find no pleasure in it. What? I was shocked! She didn't do the assignment because she wouldn't enjoy it? Well .... this opened up a new thought. So, I would ask myself every step of the way, "what would please me most to do with this painting right now?" I reveled in the texture and colors of the paint. I just let myself do what would pleased me. The red and pink was especially pleasurable. The colors were sumptuous and seductive. And they wanted to be painted with my fingers. I gave the painting anything it asked for riding the edge of pleasure at every stroke. Sometimes it was difficult to let myself just do what pleased me. I think my professor got scared at the way the painting was evolving. It had gotten to the point of melting into place -- do you know that feeling? In the zone is another way to put it. He suggested to leave it and begin another. I think he was scared I would ruin it. He had fallen in love with it. I felt like I had just began to "cook" but obliged him. To me the painting looks unfinished, although it's growing on me. But, I won't touch it again. It is done. I really appreciate the varying comments that were posted on this piece.
