Bought, not because I like them, but just because they were there on the shelf. Others seem to use them, so I took them as well. Now they are sitting there and are still sealed: Three Colors of Brown. In my eyes, they are just ugly.
So today will be about that: Deliberately touching what you don’t like. Mixed studies spread across the page. My mind analyses: These are earth tones. So: A landscape again? My creativity doesn’t come up with anything except: If it’s going to be ugly, it better be right. And so I reach out for black – the absence of light. I thought at least five times about putting it into the shopping basket as well. In the end, my sense of order won out: The desire to be able to put all the colors in a row on my windowsill. Black can’t be missing from that. It belongs to the world.
A black bar is created. Unbearable – such a bold border. White as a counterpart does not really make it more bearable. Gradients develop, until everything is mixed with something else. Oh, a horizon. Further blurring. An unfinished picture. An empty projection surface did emerge on which anything could be placed. I leave that to the imagination and put the brushes into the water.
