We saw two paintings today,
One seemed scattered, splashed, all over the place and just complicated.
It looked unsettling and the colors seemed to drip on the bottom.
There were demensions of meaning, and emotion.
The latter was simple. It almost looked like colors painted on a wooden board all neat and nice.
They were both blue and green. The first darker and the latter lighter. But I feel both were empty in a way. It seems like the painter is finder her balance in this hard time of her life. Like shes trying to make sense of something that doesnt. First in a way thats complicated and then in a way thats empty of meaning. The only way we could describe the second painting is by comparing it to the first. It almost seems like her process.
Blue can also be symbolic of the sky as green is to the ground and shes trying to find the balance of the two. The balance between dealing with her issues and her past and going on to the future without forgetting it or ignoring it. Its merging the two paintings (two types of ways to deal) that shes looking for.
