I started this painting last week, based on the sketch below. Â The sketch itself is based on a sculpture in tan canvas and black wire by one of my favorite sculptors, Lee Bontecou.
I haven’t really developed a set way to get started with the work I’ve been doing for the past 6 months. Â I usually have a period of getting very lost while developing my composition, and then have to paint my way out.
This time, I came up with some sketches to serve as the basis for the paintings’ compositions.  (I have another one planned  as well).  Then, I give myself the freedom to allow other things to occur as I work.  I may also try another, larger version of this, based on a more accurate interpretation of the sketch.
