My Love.

Acrylic paint on acrylic paper, A4.

Just another practise piece I did whilst I tried to figure out what to create for our mid-term exhibition and review. The main inspiration for this painting is easy to see, it was from the great man himself, Van Gogh. The way I have painted this is minimal; the blending of the colours has meant that there is little excess paint. I have realised from this task that I miss high school. Well, more the fact that I was able to use as much paint as I wished and paint as large as I liked for nothing. Ah, the good ol’ days. Now everything costs money Since school, through college and into uni, my work has shrunk and why? Because I simply can’t afford to work big like I want to. Unless I find things to work on in the skip or are donated to me haha! Sorry, I’m going off on one, let me get back to the point I wanted to say in this post. What I do like is thick paint. Something that makes you want to poke it and feel the work. It’s one of the best things in life, I think, especially when you are allowed to touch it. I would like to use thicker amounts of paint again one day, maybe I will at some point, but like everything else, we’ll just have to wait and see.
