It’s been one of those weeks where it seems like every day is just bleeding into the last, a cycle of streetcar/desk/streetcar/couch/streetcar/desk/streetcar/couch that has been just wearing me out. In fact, it seems like life has been so large and so small all at the same time lately, and so I decided to get out of my head and just paint. The design is based upon a popular Kathie Winkle pattern, kind of interpreted in a folk/Concentric-circles-Kandinsky style, all freehand.
I think for the next step I’ll add more thick line patterns around each side and up and down the legs. Afterwards I think I’ll add white in the unpainted sections, as a sort of “negative” paint, which should dry pretty transparently and show the wood grain too.
The table is just an old IKEA table I’ve had for a while that I’ve always been meaning to stain a nice dark brown… looks like it won’t be matching my custom Horse fabric chairs anymore! Unless I maybe paint those white… nah.
i love seeing the work in progress, looks cool so far…
Very cool. It looks kind of Dharma-ish and reminds me of traditional Mauritanian folk art, which I’ll show you a sketch of some time. I think you’ll see the similarities. Nice job.
Cool, thanks Andy! I didn’t get the Dharma connection, but I can kind of see it. Must be the Lost on the brain.
i like this a lot. i sense another art swap coming on soon…?
I really like that!
Cool, thank you so much for your encouragement!
