Working out the leaping hares idea further in casein, a milk-based paint that I’ve just discovered. Dries fast, but not plastic-y like acrylics. Good for painting daydreams (which are also milk-based and fast-drying).
I like allowing for invention and frivolity, and changes of mind, I would like to be more frivolous and change my mind more often. Some people don’t like to see evidence of the painter’s changes of mind, looks too much like floundering — see #6 and #29 of Sol LeWitt’s “Sentences on Conceptual Art” — which I guess it is. Floundering I also like, it can be very productive. Picasso referred to Bonnard’s paintings scornfully as “a potpourri of indecision.”
Long live floundering!
Amen, Lee.
