Blue curtain

After some investigations into the contemporary art scene and two failed experimental paintings my conclusion was to venture back into oils. I have not used oils since 1992 and it is a happy return. Due to the richness of the material I can work allot more directly than with acrylics and be satisfied. I hope not to discover a suitable style rather I will investigate different aspects of what a painting can be or specifically what a painting can look like. Liberated action is always far more fruitful than clearcut concepts of art. A theory of art will always evade the reality of art which engine is impulse and choice not logic and conclusion. I suppose making a painting is about as absurd for me as explaining art to a dead hare.
