For the pure joy of drip painting. No splashing. No flinging. No pouring. Just dripping and dripping and dripping; building the depth and balance and getting lost in the action. Wet on dry, each color must fully dry before another is added. This is therapy for the artist and viewer alike.
Photographing this piece was most challenging when trying to capture the impact and detail of the painting. The many thin lines of varying colors would play with the light obscuring some detail. Below the standard studio photograph is one taken outdoors with only natural light in hopes of giving you the feel of this many-layered drip work. Notice the black tendrils weaving through the piece. These are only noticeable when walking by the painting as light reflects from it. Painting the piece may have been therapy but photographing it was not. I'm going to need to paint another just for the therapy again... but then I'll have to photograph it again meaning I'll need more therapy. Well, there's an endless cycle at least collectors could benefit from.
