this was done on a untreated mdp panel in acrylic mixed with some oil pastels now and then. I like the absorbency of the untrated panel.later one has to treat it with varnish all six sides not to let it go fibers. today I am thinking why do we keep on painting and go on creating pile of..
this is a scene which I used to see almost evrery day on my way to studio few years back,I have painted here sitting in a car.this one is from a photo shot long back.the road is no more or never as empty as i have shown.
I am a full time painter
I paint what I see.
It is not the subject but the shapes, tones, color and there relation along with the play of light that crates a sensation.
I paint because I wish to respond and communicate this sensation.
The selection of shapes and tones rendered in realistic style with washes and brushstrokes is my painting. The selection is my vision and creates a body for the sensation felt.
If the viewer responds by saying “wow”, I believe he responds to that “abstract quality”,that”visual sensation” which I felt. This is probably my best reward and fulfillment than any long essay written by a critique
