Fluid Beauty Streams of Consciousness Part 4
From 6/5/10: Phew. I am spent. Just figured out which images represent which levels of consciousness. Also, which jewelry also represents these levels.
I was stuck, but close to solving everything. I went to the boutique and took some pictures of the jewelry there and instinct + some research into symbolism + a little inspiration = all the answers I needed.
There was an especially tricky part: arranging the pieces in a way that presented the paintings in the order I wanted and fit within the layout of the boutique. It was further complicated by the fact I had already drawn images on the canvases (which are different sizes), limiting the ways I could arrange the canvases within the boutique. It wasn’t working and it appeared that I’d have to present the paintings out of order to fit them on the walls. I looked like I’d have to arrange them out of order. I spoke with my wife, Trish and she gave me some advice which was: do what is right for the art, not the architecture of the boutique. I was set to have the painting’s be out of order, but I took another look at the measurements I had to work with and fortune stepped in — I realized I had a measurement error, forcing me to rearrange the order of the work yet again, but this time I came up with a new configuration that allowed me to put the paintings in order.
Too much thinking. Now off to rest, then draw.
And then paint. A lot. Quickly.
