This painting was a struggle.
I wanted to carry on with my earlier Vortex painting, but at a smaller scale.

I go into every painting now with requirements:
1 Energy and emotion.
2 Be a painter.
3 Be confusing
4 Be off balance
5 Find the love within the conflict and suffering.

Aspirations for the painting:
Technically, I wanted to get more density and depth in the paint.
Emotionally and Artistically, I need to bash the paint about and not be too tidy.
I use the physical and emotional connections when painting
I prefer to dance with the painting than be tedious.
Sometimes it is a war zone with enemies gaining and ceding a lot of territory in a short period.

My early planning notes for “Hole” Vortex 2:
Spinning geometry
Goes BACK into space
MORE depth and more faces that are tilting geo
A LOT of depth planes

To give me a space backwards into non-time.

“Hole” pairs with Hellpocalyptic BioGeo Portrait
