When you’re learning and experimenting, sometimes you just end up with something weird.
When I was playing with this brush, what came to mind was spirals, so that’s really how this thing got started. The 2-inch brush if for big things, as the name might imply, and it’s bold, big. I wanted to do the entire painting with it so I wasn’t able to do anything really detailed, oh, I am sure I could have tried a little harder but that wasn’t the point here.
I’ve said it before, but I’ve been moving my mind away from strict precision and towards accepted chaos, or bounded chaos. Let things happen with guidance. It is rather freeing, at least for me.
So, is there a point, a meaning, a purpose, even to those shapes in the center? Not really. Although, a lot of my life I felt like I’ve been trapped in the middle of a storm. Step one way and the calm shatters and blows up all the careful work I’ve done in my life.
That wasn’t the intent, but it’s as good as anything, if you need a message.
