Painting distance

Scroll down to content

As I start the third painting in my quest to paint orange I can report that my painting practice is starting to feel different. I don’t love orange. I have written about this mild contempt before. I hold this color at a distance, thus, I can look on my practice differently. I can distance myself from the product. How freeing! What an accomplishment!

Painting distance isn’t about architectural 3 pt perspective. It is about the space I have mentally created to distance myself from the work. I don’t think the mood of my practice has changed as I am still extremely motivated and excited to be painting. I love painting and I love learning new things in my practice.

My favorite thing about painting is the process. I love the feeling. The mind space that is required to really be into a painting. The process is somehow difficult and relaxing, challenging and rewarding, it boosts my confidence and humbles me all at the same time. There is no other feeling like creating a beautiful painting. It's satisfying to experience a range of emotions in a just a couple of hours by moving paint around. Sometimes I wipe all the paint off after a day or so.
