I stretched out silk today and covered it with gesso - a first for me! The gesso-covered silk is ripply and parchment-ey. It's surface feels hardened and crackly, like leathery skin, but very white. I've never painted on a surface like this before, it's like entering unknown territory.
I also don't what I'm feeling anymore, so I paint an egg shape then I sit waiting, breathing, being.
But love, love calls (and sorrow) and all is as it should be.
"Everybody has come home...Our lives don't end" - lyrics from "Goin' Out" by Sarah Harmer.
Slowly, you pick away at love...until nothing's left.
