painting #149

2022

acrylic, mixed

24″x30″ canvas

 

small but mighty.

the lines btw masterpiece and nonsense

are thinner than things most thin

-they are without poetry.

apply/remove/comeback

and dance

motion brush

eye

it was my very first time.

i surrendered.

to something outside my conscious craving

manipulation

and need for happy little trees

and june cleaver living.

i sat with what was

and it started teaching me things.

it taught me all things I’ve studied

but could not apply

-that it itself is beauty

if you can just leave it the fuck alone

-that it too is still manipulation by choosing the absence of manipulation.

a self decided

completed

work of art
