In the spirit of Easter I cobbled together this relief print .
Regeneration
relief print, ink on paper
After my last post on Good Friday I went back to the studio with the specific desire to just paint. not to fuss, not to sketch, employing a limited palette, not to overthink; just play with paint and linseed oil. I also only allowed a specific amount of time, the few hours before I needed to prepare dinner for David. The result is far from stellar, in fact I hesitate to post it at all, but in the spirit of honest exploration I will anyway.
Let’s just call it an experimental daub, awkward, tentative, but an effort to change- that is what spring signifies anyway.

Happy Easter,

Post Script: I noodled with this daub a bit more, resisted fussing but I felt it needed more definition. My intention was to accentuate the projectiles coming toward the Son of God.
I’m happier with the painting, I can now let it be. I appreciate the kind words of encouragement I have received concerning this experiment.

Happy Easter to you, Leonard. And happy painting as well.
Thank you Carla, happy Easter to you as well.
Thank you, and happy Easter to you as well.
I like this, it’s very loose and free, your aqua and cadmium red highlights are quite effective. I think you should do more quick and gestural pieces like this.
Just sayin’

Thank you Richard, unfamiliar territory so I appreciate the feedback- will certainly try to incorporate this into my studio practice.

Well you tickle me with the Rouault comparison, a favorite of mine. I will definitely do more, thank you my friend.
