| 'Desire' Jason Randolph Burrell 2011 Acrylic on Wood Panel: 11" x 14" |
I might change one of my arms in this. I may touch up the carrot a bit. I may do neither. I'll have to keep an eye on it for a few days to be certain. I need a fifth sentence in this paragraph beginning with "I."
This is one I originally started a few weeks ago and was unhappy with. I'd had company not conducive to the process at the time and ended up with what was basically garbage. So I sat on the panel until last weekend when Katie (who as I mentioned in yesterday's post is ideal creative company) came to visit. Most of this painting was completed during her stay, basically everything except the handless, footless man and the floating carrot. Those I sketched while she was here and painted in her absence over the past week.
The relationship I have with desire is complex at best and downright mystifying more often than not. At least, it seems that way to me when I attempt a definition with words. View this painting as a self-portrait.

To me it begs the question: To what does that man cling.
Great question Dave :)
The field of blue/white is home- the familiar- those things to which we cling instead of going after the things we want.
This is a funny post and great painting.
That carrot looks tasty
Very tasty ;) That's the most desirable carrot in the universe.
