It had been a week since my last blog updates regarding the status of my 7 paintings I am currently working on
I paint everyday, and I tweet about it, so if you are interested to know the daily updates, please follow me on tweeter follow me on twitter
It is a slow process, since I do a lot of calculations to preserve the proportionality between my computer prototype of the geometric patterns and the actual large or small canvas
Also, since I create several layers of the liquitex medium to separate the different layers of the patterns, that adds to the slow process as well
Note I could ve used resin instead of liquitex, but after a long research and experience, I chose liquitex for several reasons:
1: resin yellows overtime, liquitex never yellows
2: resin is toxic to use, liquitex is safe
3: resin is difficult to work, liquitex is easy to use
4: resin could produce bubbles if not used properly, liquitex doesn’t produce any bubbles
5: resin is more expensive
6: liquitex produces same results as of resin
Anyway, I am happy using liquitex and so are my clients
I made some major improvements to my 7 paintings please see the attached images and compare them to my previous blogs, you will notice the difference
Tomorrow is the first day of Ramadan, I look forward to balance my spiritual journey along my artistic journey
Muslims fast everyday from dawn to sunset for the whole month of Ramadan, fasting is not a starvation, it is rather a discipline to the body and the soul, we actually feel the hunger and the thirst unfortunate people feel around the world and that prompts us to help the poor and the needy
It is a challenge for me to fast and paint , because by the end of the day, I do feel tired, hungry and thirsty, and painting requires energy of the mind, so trying to balance it out will be a great awesome feeling
