losing My Edge  3Losing My Edge, I am working on adding depth to the base image.  My first discovery of LCD Soundsystem occur strangely as I was looking for music documentaries on Netflix. I came upon Shut Up and Play the Hits.  This artwork is coming out of this version of Losing My Edge from that documentary:

losing MyEdge _2Losing My Edge from the Music by LCD Soundsystem.  This artwork composed of three canvases is about forty-six inches long by about thirty-four inches in height.  All I am doing here is to putting down some paint down, to cover the white canvas,  and that fits the music theme. To keep it simple, which is important when time constraints are an issue,  I picked purple for all three canvases.  Nothing special with the technique mostly just having fun.

Losing My Edge is this years 2015 Birthday Painting.  I will be starting this work today and finishing it tomorrow on my Birthday.  I have done this tradition for a several years.  In the past I have started and finished my Birthday work all in one day, on my Birthday.  This year, I am going to be kinder to me.  I have proved I can paint a work all in one day, but for the most part that time has been extremely demanding and stressful. One years I finished the work just before midnight.  So enough is enough.  Now, it is time to have fun for my Birthday.  And anyway in the past I have taken days  before preparing and lately construction the work, and  yes I did paint the entire work all in one day, but I spent much of the next day cleaning up the work, so that it has that finished look.  This year I will be starting this work today and finishing it probably on Saturday with the clean up.

Here is the video for Losing My edge.
