Anjilala Art

Just finished the latest painting, was going to post a pic but the camera battery died, so will post one after it's been recharged.

I've been battling with limitations in my work lately, and this painting feels like the beginnings of a breakthrough. Feel like I'm regaining the freshness and life of earlier paintings when I was in love with the process. I've had to put money concerns on the backburner and focus purely on the creative process, and it seems to be working.

like many of my paintings this one had it's stages, sometimes getting really stuck with it, and then finding a new direction to take. I've enjoyed exploring the paint, finding new ways to apply it, and enjoying the freshness the new techniques I'm using bring.

It's more zappy than anything I've done for a while.with a range of paint surfaces. Have tried to create a real intensity in some areas, and contrast that with flat colour in others.

Feel like I'm back at playcentre, (the highlight of my early years, school never hit the same highs lol)the same kind of feeling that fingerpainting and play dough used to gave me.

But to give myself credit, I remember many a finger painting that quickly went from awesome to mud, as I just didn't know when to stop playing around with it. - have slightly more control now :-)
