Adding Dimension: A Painting in Progress

This painting-in-progress is an exercise in holding myself back to allow the painting to come through. Photo: Kim Lee Kho 2015.
These three dimensional green strokes are the last thing I've added to this painting-in-progress. 

I'm taking this one slowly as it needs a certain amount of spareness and therefore restraint. Holding back in some ways will allow what's there to sizzle more. 

In painting as in life, it's good to know when to lay it on and when to step back.

    As a visual artist I like nothing more than getting up to my elbows in paint or little plastic toys, or wading in at the deep end in pursuit of an idea. When I am not teaching others in a similar vein, you can find me researching, writing and noodling around in my studio, seeing where my latest lines of inquiry lead me.
