As She Appears
Someone may think this isn’t
finished
That I stopped and didn’t start
again
Someone might wonder if a painting
Is ever really done
Do we not just stop
When the image is clear
When the past filters through
Someone may think they know
That I stopped when I saw her
again
Someone might wonder if her ghost
Is ever really gone
Do we not just stop
When the image is clear
When the anger returns
The original sketch was posted in
August of last year. This painting almost appears too, just like her ghost.
I’ll probably work some more on
the painting, maybe even this week.
22”x 28” acrylic on stretched
canvas

They're moving, closer, closer...non stop really ~ I like the curve of legs..make girls alive...
ReplyDeleteAnd the more added, the more they come forward, the more they become real☺
DeleteInteresting question....is a painting ever done? I expect, like a poem, it never is. Even if I've had one published....if I pull it back up, I tweek it, can't leave it alone. I would imagine it's much the same with a painting.
ReplyDeleteWhat comes from my head does continue. I don’t know where to stop. When working from a model or a natural view, I usually know when I have captured what I want and can leave the rest alone.

ReplyDeletephoto speaks a thousand words but it you kept it short to the point, couldn't have been easy
Thank you
DeleteI’m sure this happens with photos too. the mind doesn’t stop interpreting☺
They really do return, don't they?
ReplyDeleteAppearing out of the brickwork to glide across out peripheral consciousness in 3D colour...but only for a moment.
Yet we remember them forever...
Yes they do.. And memory continues to bring them back in images like this.
