You won’t be surprised when I tell you that towards the end of term, I have a pretty big pile of demos waiting to be “dispositioned”, that is: either 1) keep, 2) rework or 3) “file under circular”. Whenever I demonstrate something in class, into the pile it goes, for a while.
At the end of the teaching day, I become a bit “art blind” – I can’t see what’s pleasing and what’s not. That’s why it’s good to be “slow to judge”.
Time adds clarity – here are a few recent pieces I was about to toss, but am glad I kept:
Nice David, these are always my favorites – the fast fluid sketch painting works that you and others do, they look so honest and true of the moment.
Am back in Ottawa, might start seeing me again in the fall.
cheers
Hi Doug,
Many thanks…great that you liked the gestural work: I’ll be sure to post some more when I sort through things!
Welcome back to Ottawa!
David
