I must not paint the thing itself, but I will paint the air between myself and the thing, and beyond.

Last week, I resumed working on my Not-So-Daily Paintings/Drawings series, and also the work inspired by the sculptures of Lee Bontecou. Here's the first one from last week. I'll be posting more for the next several days.

This painting started out very differently than it ended up. In a month full of daily interruptions (far more then the usual tolerable level of daily interruptions), I had a hard time keeping the same frame of mind while I worked sporadically on this canvas.

Here's another new painting that started out quite differently than it ended up. I was working on it during the time Hurricane Isaac was building in the Gulf Coast, so I guess you could say that became an influence. ;)

I got a bit bolder with the colors on this painting. This was intended to be a continuation of the same visual idea from the painting I posted yesterday. The fact that it isn't quite seems to be proof of something, but what exactly, I'm not sure. Another goofy composition, but I love it!
I am an abstract and representational painter. I paint primarily in oil, but I also work in a variety of other media. This is my blog; my art site is at Marilyn Fenn Studio, and you can purchase my art at Marilyn Fenn Shop.
