This is what I love about oil painting... just erase it right away cleanly if you don't like what you have done. Especially because my white paint is mixed with safflower oil (slow drying, and doesn't yellow) and my medium I use is just walnut oil and little bit of turps. I also paint very light glazes...
so easy to erase all the marks if done right away and the bottom layer is completely dry.
Not much of life is like this.

ReplyDeleteI too wish that certain moments
be removed cleanly from my life
a layer here and a layer there
scraped clean with a sharp knife
so fresh depictions might appear
like blues to classical or hip hop to jazz
although I suspect that the garland
around my spine would say otherwise
Beautiful :)

The lightest glaze finished me
up all too soon
the rag uplifted
removed all trace of damage
revirginated treading soft
I breathed new life
back
into myself
circular breathing
simultaneous expulsion creation
halo to the heart
head to hand
hand to mouth
that's beautiful!
