I was very unhappy with the way this painting had turned out in the 'face-part'. Each time my eye caught it i felt a stab with discontent in my body. I did not know what to do with it, its been bugging me for a few weeks now.
Yesterday evening i finally mustered up the courage to paint the face away. By the time i started this it was already pitch dark in my balcony painting studio. I li a candle and ignored the lack of light and started the 'work over' anyway. Thinking it could be intesting to see what happens when paint a painting in the dark.. I wasnt worried to ruin it because with this painting i did not have much too lose anyway.
Maybe it's time to experiment some more 'candle light painting' :-)
The words of wisdom from John O'Donohue are perfectly describing in what mood i was painting this one when i initially painted it a few weeks ago...
“All the possibilities of your human destiny are asleep in your soul. You are here to realize and honor these possibilities. When love comes in to your life, unrecognized dimensions of your destiny awaken and blossom and grow. Possibility is the secret heart of time.”-John O'Donohue
By daylight this morning...i like it, maybe it shoud stay this way, 'a face in the clouds'...
