I Hate Painting Love 2024. Acrylic on loose canvas, 20 x 24"
We paint live on Thursdays, a few thousand miles away. Except today and tomorrow I will be out of town hanging an exhibition: Visions of the Human Condition. I do not enjoy walking into strange galleries and putting holes in their walls. I have 100 paintings to hang, at 4 tacks each, plus pinning number tags to reference a title list—that’s 500 holes for the gallerist to fill in with spackle post exhibition. I’d be slightly bitter about that if I was her.
I’ll suggest I do it.
During live painting last Thursday there was an annoying ring on my end of the video. You can’t hear it, but it was driving me crazy.
Enjoy for a few minutes anyway. Video brought to you by the artist Edgeworth Johnstone.
