Modified Contour – Studio (Oil on canvas, 2005)

This is a contour paint drawing of an art studio which I did in 2005.  I refer to it as a “modified blind contour” because the subject matter was sketched without ever looking at the canvas.  The process was then reversed in the painting stage by focusing my attention entirely on the canvas - without referring back to the subject matter.  From memory, I tried to make sense of the garbled mess of line on the page and create an abstract view of the studio space. I am happiest with the brief moments of clarity in the painting.
