Every Sunday morning, if the light is good, I take pictures of progress in the studio. These two landscapes one featuring an elephant and the other a springbok have gone through more changes than most. Almost daily I tested them, unhappy with their color or gesture or mark and the connections between land, light and animal in the paintings did not match the substance of the real place. So, I pushed everything around, adding and eliminating until the pictures survived the process. And they are still evolving. Will they survive the final edit? Don’t know yet.
