Everything Old Is New Again

...or am I just NOT moving on in my "art practise"? I found this groundwork I'd laid a few years back when I first started doing painting on top of collage (the wallpaper and the lunar scene), which I didn't really know what to do with at the time. When I rediscovered it recently it seemed obvious: apply this lady to the scene! I've used her before- I use a lot of these copyright-free images repeatedly- so painting her again was like a visit with an old friend.

But wait. Don't I keep yearning to free things up, to return to a looser, more spontaneous method of painting? Don't I keep thinking about experimenting and potentially discovering a new direction to move in? Yes, yes I do.



Yes.








Yes, I do.
