Excavating Colors

Archeology

Yesterday after church was very interesting. Ron gave an intro to DJ-ing to a few of us and some younger people. It was cool, a totally different world and I can highly respect the profession now. Maybe profession is not a right word because most DJs enjoy what they are doing. I was lost though, that thing is too deep for me, it's not just about putting two songs together, you know. You need a sense of beats, a vast knowledge of records, songs, music, a taste for good sounds, and the most difficult one, an atmospheric sensibility of surroundings and people.

So I paint. I started a new painting today on a bigger canvas. It will be going on for a while. I will basically keep painting layers on top layers of colors. Mixing color feels more comfortable to me and very therapeutic actually. Intermittently I will put horizontal pieces of masking tape across. That will preserve fragments of the existing colors. I title it “Archeology”.
