"Just say no to magic-killers!" Ha! Love it.<br /><br />Hi Caroline - Thanks much. I will try to get a pic of one of them (one from last year or so) matted and framed so you can get an idea. It is a colored paper (La Carte) and it doesn't really feel that small to me in terms of ability to work on it, don't know why. :)<br /><br />Hi Wm - "The same painting." Guess we were channeling each other back then? ;) Glad you also liked the 8-panel white paintings.

Also those 8 panels I saw in your archives are where I am right now in many ways (dots and dashes). I'll be exploring this blog some more tomorrow.

I love the pastel layer over what looks like an under painting though you could be working on a coloured back ground. You are posting the painting at almost it's real size and I am amazed at how you are able to work so small. It would be brilliant to see one of these framed up, do you have a large size matt around the image?Caroline Simmillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598525698486576546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162020605981984694.post-54255037204494709722011-01-31T21:11:30.314-07:002011-01-31T21:11:30.314-07:00It DOES have a landscape feel to it with a nice hi...It DOES have a landscape feel to it with a nice high horizon line. I think that there's a lot to be said for following urges without browbeating things to death with over-analyzing things. This works and it feels like magic. I think the Surrealists did some "automatic" painting to get in touch with their psyches. Some magic-killers would have plenty to say about that, too. I say, GO FOR IT!

I don't feel too bad about tossing little paintings in the trash when necessary. And the instant gratification and intense pure color are what make me love pastel.<br />The Husband often wears a scowl, I'm afraid... but the way Gadjo was positioned there just kills me.<br /><br />ELFI - Merci pour votre visite. Oui, je considere que ce pastel est fini, pas simplement un exercise. Et vous pouvez avoir toutes ces boules de douceur--ironiquement, je ne les aime pas du tout!Jala Pfaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186623108399217523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162020605981984694.post-85787243779189275552011-01-31T01:00:02.312-07:002011-01-31T01:00:02.312-07:00le pastel est mieux qu'un exercice...

And with these small paintings, even if it doesn't work, it's no big deal. And then there's the instant gratification of working in pastel....<br /><br />I literally laughed out loud when I read the caption for the baby Gadjo picture. The very serious look on The Husband's face also made me laugh.Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.com
