Work in process... Painting

This painting is a work in process being created in Barcelona, Spain since the Spring of 2017. Tina Delehag modeled for the quick oil stick layout. The painting then continues to develop as a collabortive project with my daughter. Many of my most recent art projects revolve around interacting with her. I took up painting as a regular practice in 2015 when LLuna began to expressive herself with color and texture. LLuna and I externally experience the dialog that occurs inside the mind of an artist trying to keep a balance between uninhibited marks and intensional placement. There exists only a quick window of opportunity before distraction, chaos or control takes over. This has been a powerful challenge and lesson in letting go and learning to work from my gut more than from mind. Signed by artists Charity Blansit and LLuna Solà Blansit
