I love the red string, it’s fantastic. Did you really build a fence like that?
thanks Emily. No, never built a fence like that. Basically I started painting a beach, thought it needed something vertical, then thought it needed some more color, then made up a story for it all. hah
brilliant
love the fake story behind it
there’s a deep truth there somewhere
Thanks Kelly, it’s certainly turned out to be a lot of fun making up some story to go along with them. Helps keep me interested in pushing the image as far as I can and making it better.
