7 Month Painting

Recently I have been doing a lot of painting, it’s become a bit of a stress release for me. The painting I have been doing involves meticulous work with small lines that all come together to build the final image, although this method is extremely slow it is just as rewarding when the I get to see the final that has come together over the course of several months. In the case of this painting it took 7 months of painting on and off, annoyingly I would sit and paint for 2-3 hours at a time and it looked like I had done nothing.

I was initially inspired by this picture from NASA of Jupiter and the continuous swirls of clouds/storm happening on the planet. Admittedly looking at the painting and at the inspiration they don’t look very similar.

I’ve always liked filming the process of painting, especially when so many hours of work gets put into a single painting and the viewer has no idea of the time spent. Thankfully iPhones have a time lapse feature so it is really easy to set up and record.
