Years ago, I was obsessed with smoothness in my paintings; constantly layering colors and smoothing them over, to achieve evenness. Then, I realized that I love texture. The reason that there exists texture within paintings is because of the process where the mind unfolds during completion. There is a progression; you begin with one color but then decide to use another color. one changes their mind and paints over the perceived mistake, to form something beautiful, tangible and perfect. Artistic perfection is the sense of satisfaction from creating — or perhaps, on a much deeper level, that's gratitude. |
