Sometimes we have no other choice than to complete something at the last minute. This is NOT always a good idea. For example, finishing a book. It’s never going to work if you try to rush the writing process. But when it comes to art, sometimes being under the pump can lead to all manner of inventiveness.
A sneak peak…Art or scribble? An act of necessity fills a hole in the wall…
This is my way of justifying the canvas that hangs in my office right now. You see, we had a photo shoot scheduled at our house last weekend. At the last minute, I realised I’d forgotten (for more than a year) to create a masterpiece on the white canvas on my easel that was SUPPOSED to fill that giant, gaping blank hole on the wall behind my desk.
When I realised on Friday night that the photographer was due in less than eight hours, plus I needed to sleep, I got my skates on. Anything would be better than a blank canvas, right?
How to finish a painting and make it acceptable in under two hours? I decided three simple rules would do the trick:
1. Keep it simple.
2. Stick to one colour
3. Make it abstract.
And voila! Here it is.
Frameless and simple
