When I’m feeling creative, my dog is often my default subject matter. This is pretty of “low-art” of me, I know, but in this most recent painting, I want to bury the image of Ruby with tens of thousands of paint drops so she’s barely noticeable. I did a very small painting similar to this one last year (maybe 12″ x 8″) and I loved working on it. Every single paint drop is a decision, but the joy in that process is that the consequence is indifferent once it’s placed. It’s like meditating and it gives my mind an uninterrupted chance to wander.
I wanted to do a larger version, so this piece is 47″ x 22″. The base image for the last piece was an abstraction (almost like a solar system) so I thought this time I would try incorporating an image. And hello Ruby!
