Earlier in the year, this painted pair titled “chromatic dream” 1 and 2 launched exclusively with and I’m finally making them insta official. At the beginning of February, I took only one in-progress photo of the long canvas after meditatively layering imperfect stroke after stroke over the course of many days. The rainbow of hues was intended to be a blue version of my “land wires” piece I created one year prior in the winter of 2024. If I didn’t have a deadline, I’d likely keep that canvas out on my work table and add lines of color here and there whenever I’m working and deem her perpetually in progress. But thankfully I stopped and scanned the canvas into multiple separate pieces and these two portraits emerged as the vibrant actualizations of my own dreams of swimming in a river of color.
Fun fact: that oblong canvas had layers of drawing and painting dating back to 2001-ish, but I never liked the work I had created, yet I lugged the unfinished canvas back and forth across the country a few times and now I am finally happy where she’s landed. 🌈☺️
