The Search for the Lost Sanity

The meandering line  was created partially or as a result of having that feeling that sanity was lost and must be found again.  Sanity went for a walk and never came back. The meandering line  is meandering endlessly to find the lost item.  This is a watercolor on paper.        18 x 24 inches. 46 x 61 cm.

    • Sorry again for this late reply. The colors are not really mixed. They are placed on the surface as a layer. When the layer dries then I can add another layer. And the color begins to change and do all sorts of … colorful things. There are as many as 10 layers of colors on the surface. So the alyers interact with each other to create the effect of that atmospheric color fog.

    • The new layer over the dry layer simply starts to interact with a the color layer underneath. I use watercolors for the sfumato effect. I am not sure if this is a phase. Could be terminal. Ok, maybe it is a periodic symptom of obsessive activity that appears once in a while. I am not sure of anything about this part of your question. This style did start many years coupled with the single line syndrome in the works. I did get sick last year. Bells Palsy. Same symptoms as a stroke but luckily I had the Bells. The doctor said it’s good that it was that. After recovering I began to do art again. The linear aspect has been around for 10 years or so. The recovery somehow enhanced a predilection to the linear aspect.
