More is Amor
October 11, 2023
Painters sometimes love their studio more than the art that's inside. They can admire the walls of the room as much as the paintings that hang on them. Or the floor. Or a group of half-finished canvases stacked against each other in the corner. Take this photo, for example. For me a painting of the entire scene would look great. Or if a person was able to simply hack out the entire setting and place it in a museum. This would be a pleasure to contemplate. Individual works organized into a unique wholeness. Viewed one by one, they don't seem like much. But fused together they have a real impact. Someone might say "well, do it!" Yeah. Sounds like a good plan. Until you take the first step or two. No. Not today.
