Working toward Resolution

Transformation or Resolution?
I’m carrying on with revisiting some old mixed media paintings – some I knew were unfinished, some I thought might be unfinished. It’s really fun to reword these. This one is an example of a piece I thought might be finished some time ago, but either I was wrong or I have changed since then, because it just demanded to be reworked. It’s always a surprise to see what form that takes – in this case it was clearly more than just a few tweaks. Is it better now, or just different? Am I better now, or just different? More to come.

Before and After #1
Moving on from collage to mixed media painting. I have a stash of unfinished pieces that need some resolution. Love working in layers, but boy if you get interrupted it can sit there for a while in a pretty unattractive place. Sometimes I just lose the thread altogether and reinvent. I can see traces of the collage series here in using the big bold shapes on top to frame the rest of the action. This was fun and faster than I expected, more to come!
