Painting by Alexandra Duprez
I just know maturing has something to do with not ‘fabricating’ a painting... I want to be able to release control and let it flow naturally from me to where ‘it’ wants to go. But then how do i cope with that 'breaking-point'? There always is the arrival on that one frustrating point in the painting process. And I am right there NOW! Yesterday I knew already i was close to that ugly moment, especially when I looked at the pictures I had posted on my blog of my most recent painting. Looking at pictures in the middle of a painting process makes me able to find myself at more distance This distance is where I can ‘see’ if a painting is going where I want it to go...See there is that stupid need to control again.
Maybe i should put it this way: when i saw the pics i took yesterday I felt not connected to the painting the way i wished i would? I had a pretty good idea of what feeling I wanted to come forward in the painting about the woman I am painting, well not her literally, but her energy. But looking at the pictures made me realize I wasn’t there yet, not even close... And this frustrating feeling stays with me all day (and night).. I feel like I need to grow up in my paintings, but what is that??? I just have this vague notion of what that is when I look at other peoples work. I just don't know how to do it myself.
In the pictures below I try to explain visualy my feel of what a‘mature’ painting looks like.
