Formalism
1) One ‘Abandoned’ painting per month. 2) Limited and reducing pallet, giving work direction and a promise of resolution. 3) Small size. Makes painting iconic. Sacred painting. 4) Simplest composition. Two rectangular fields over a ground divided by a horizon. 5) Use fingers to apply paint. 6) Oil on paper.
My paintings are feeling backwards from a rigid abstract formalism, towards a connection to the ‘Northern Romantic tradition’, especially the gloomy Dutch land and seascapes.
