Frustrated Lanscape Painting

Frustrated with two paintings underneath this canvas, I began to paint over the present image. I don't believe in "whiting out a canvas" to start over and do my best to incorporate what was there into a new narrative. Because of this strategy, I became further frustrated as I continued to massage the image that was originally underneath. My palette became complicated, the gestures became aggravated, the energy was high. As I continued to work the problem out, I felt a sense of release in being okay with being frustrated. I decided to complete the narrative and jump out of the painting to let it breathe to further problem solve later. The whole experience was a testament to the idea of having patience with a painting and letting it speak to you. I began to remember landscapes from my days in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and central Utah as suggested by the color choices of ocher and browns. The purple and gray values represent those glorious stormy skies before a thunderstorm on the horizon across the contrasting beige and sage green vast planes of Wyoming, and the line work identifies my energy and emotion during those times. It remains frustrated but complete in all its complexities similar to my very own like my life experiences. Often times a painting is a way to tell a story, work out emotion and perhaps negotiate a problem. This painting encompasses all those things!
