PERPETUAL PAINTING

Project Description - Perpetual Painting project
Read this or you won't get it...

The perpetual painting began in 2009 with a singular abstract painting
of a vision of a home and its surroundings that I was seeking.
The painting was completed entitled ÒFinding homeÓ, signed and displayed.

As in life, ones dreams and imagination seldom exhibit the fantasy. This left me
unsatisfied with the original vision. At this point, I realized I could
continue to adapt the original canvas INDEFINITELY, such as our imagination.

Dreams are always changing, never seen in the mind the same way.
The painting could document endlessly, a version of a visual journey that would bridge
the present past and future in one context. The painting is photo documented
periodically as the original painting will become indistinguishable in time.

Passing on the painting
To embody a spirit through the act of painting that connects future generation with past heritage
in an active engagement. Therefore, I will hand the painting down to my daughter to
perpetuate the future process with her own adaptations, interpretations and vision.

Display
The painting is hung with a wall pedestal where an accompanying mixed media
logbook is displayed. The logbook is adapted from the idea of Sea Captains vessel
journeys. The book will contain the progression photos and log updates.

First Painting 2009 - "Finding home" This painting began as way to let go of one home, and find another. It is dreamy and child-like and un-clear. Ironically, my new home did manifest with 3 windows..and although it is not near the ocean..it does but up against the flood control.	May 2011 - 1 year at New House As I celebrated 1yr at the the new home, I felt the need to "solidfy" the painting. To define and firm up the foundation...so to speak. It is subtle but there is much more dimensional rendering and a deeping of the values.
