Paintings: VOIDS - VIDES

A beautiful blue cobalt oil paint from my New York store made me want to work with this color only. I kept on brushing and brushing this color and titanium white.

I laid the canvases down on the floor and brushed endlessly a pure cobalt blue on one side into a pure titanium white on the other side. Dozens of soft, clean and wide brushes were on each side of the panels and once I had used them all I had to clean them in order to continue, otherwise the blue and white colors wouldn’t have remained so pure. The paint might look thin cause of the color but it is applied thickly. It is painted on a fine linen used for portrait and glued on a heavy duty canvas so it would provide a very flat, smooth and stable ground.
