The beauty of deadlines and friendship

Great to have studio visits and greatest if those visits are from friends whith whom we spent time, ideas, projects , and life as Is, unfolding, with all of it, life pure, raw, vibrant and inspiring.

For a month already, ideas were rolling and many tests done, pushing to decide between materials and options and more options. And, as it happens, when we moved from being the chooser and doer, materials and options unrolled in from on the eyes.

The inks on newsprints paper done in the #rv5404 -and revisited in the studio, have a raw, impulsive energy and the studio has the calm and inspiring settling/changing feeling of routine! And, because of the impulse to offer one to Christophe, I found, for now, a way to finish those works and so… they left for a new home, like a happy ending novel, thank you

Es genial tener visitas al estudio y mejor si esas visitas son de amigos con quienes pasamos tiempo, ideas, proyectos y la vida como es, desplegándose, con todo, pura vida, cruda, vibrante e inspiradora.

Durante un mes ya, las ideas están rodando en la mente junto con las múltiples pruebas realizadas, presionando por decidir materiales entre opciones y más opciones. Y, como sucede cuando nos movemos de ser el seleccionador y el ejecutor, los materiales y las opciones aparecen adelante de los ojos.

Las tintas hechas en papel en el rv y revisadas en el estudio tienen la fuerza de la energía cruda e impulsiva y el estudio la sensación de calma, estable y de cambio tranquilizador e inspirador de la rutina! Y entonces, por la necesidad de ofrecerle uno a Christophe, por ahora, encontré una forma de terminar esos trabajos. Y ahí partieron rumbo a su nuevo hogar, como en un cuento de final feliz. Gracias

Studio visit

Good visit at Shane and Isabelle's studio this week. Chatting about artistic processes, ideas, challenges and family anecdotes. Taking photos for @artfornyc and enjoying a quiche of asparagus after work.

New Works

After so much work done in the studio, having finally the time to paint. Time, the precious ordeal.

Picked two rough - they are actually rough and raw, newsprint pads from the ten i drew on the #RV5404. Painting on some of them has the gratifying feeling of the coloring books. The real meditation!

Working with small breaks intervals a new series of works appeared and I enjoyed painting for at least two days in a row. Is this too private? I don't think i'm the only one. With so many layers upon Self, flowing for two days was a bliss.
