Since I do not like to paint on canvas, I construct the underground for my paintings of plywood and battens. But in this construction I have probably installed a batten, which was pretty twisted. I've noticed that, when I painted the background. Sometimes I start a painting just by spreading color so I do not stand in front of a white background. Well, anyway, after I had noticed, that the construction is somewhat spoiled, I thought I'd just try to remove the battens. If it is broken in the process (as I glue and nail the battens) it does not matter, because there's still nothing on it. Yes, and at this thought I saw HER.
Ich wollte das Bild jetzt auf jeden Fall erhalten, aber die Latten mußten ab. Ich habe sie auch ab bekommen, ohne allzu großen Schaden anzurichten. Ein paar Zentimeter mußte ich die Platte aber danach absägen lassen, was aber bei der Größe nicht schlimm war. Es ist jetzt immer noch 75,5 x 100 cm. Dann habe ich neue Latten angebracht und nun versuche ich SIE zu malen. Erst habe ich ein paar Tage überlegt, ob ich die negative Form malen soll und mich dann aber dagegen entschieden. Mal sehen, was aus ihr wird. Ich finde es gerade ziemlich spannend. Einen Vogel gibt es übrigens auch noch auf dem Bild.
I wanted to obtain the image now in any case, but the battens had to go. I managed it without too much damage. A few inches I had to saw off after that, but with that size it did not matter. It is still 75.5 x 100 cm now. Then I installed new battens and now I'm trying to paint HER. At first I was thinking a few days whether I should paint the negative form, but then I decided against it. Let's see what will happen. I just think it's pretty exciting. A bird is also present in the picture.
