All day Friday Painting

My paintings are a work in progress that follows my daily life situation. Working upon the hurdles that I as mother, wife and artist am going through. There are lot of things to take care of and they suck out all creative energy. It is an on going fight and you only manage if you are stubborn and really want to stay in front of your canvas. I love and need my frustrations, because they continually give me something to work on. In this picture I have collected happenings and memories. They are all jointed in no particular order and united through colours. In this series I have changed the black oilbar that I usually use with a red one. The shift has given a light and summery vibe that contrasts very much to my other moodwise often "heavy" paintings. Wednesday last week and All day Friday are part of a series. I was really confused Wednesday....... The Covid19 has thrown me back to the period when my children was small. I got the feeling of being a ball again, going up and down from one wall to another totally depended on my children’s well being and their needs. The lockdown here in Italy where I am has had a very strong impact on all of us. During the lockdown I had a positive period work wise as restrictions often improve your creativity. Slightly getting started and you begin to understand what really happened to you and everybody else. I’m left with a lot of confusion in my head. I’ll use the confusion and the “out of control” feeling to: work freely, less controlled and without thinking too much. The detail photos shows better the real colours in the painting.
