Chopin’s Op. 9 NO.1 Image 10 close-up

Published on by Scott Von Holzen1 Comment

These are the first notes (shadow notes).  Of course, like in music, this canvas moves from left to right so what is imaged is the first 4 feet of this 3 section work.   Unlike previous works the bass section is being allow to drift almost completely off of the canvas. What is important is the flow of the melody notes but the having some space for the bass clef helps to organize this work.

No clue what the final colors of the notes, the beams, or the flag will be.  What is know is that it ain’t going to be easy.

Chopin’s Nocturne Op.9 No.1 Image 8

This close up is some of today modifications.  The secondary image is not quite the whole painting and shows yesterdays efforts.  Just to make it clear this is just the background to the music that will be begun late this evening or tomorrow.  Hey, I am getting to the point where there is a push to move on.  It is just the matter of reaching the point where what is done is all that can be expected.  Each painting like each person has depths that cannot be understood but only accepted.  That was taught to me by the  Velveteen Rabbit, you’re only ugly to those that don’t understand, or so it goes.  So it goes.

Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 9 No.1 Image 6

This is a close up of this painting  from last night.   This base is not finished but I wanted to post a close up because of the canvas size it is hard to see the detail.  Since then there has been, and it is still going on, more paint that has been freely spread on this canvas.  The feeling of being finished, or acceptable, just is not there, yet.

The mood does not seem right. On bright side, as soon as it dries there will be more room for more paint.  Sooner then later, something will come together and it will just be known to move on.  It always happens, even though right now, there is wonder.
