Great to see this. You paint on glass. Is it special paint?

Posted by wardvanhaute on December 05, 2012

No just oils, I paint on the back in reverse, then I seal it with an epoxy when it's finished.

Posted by nicovanoosten on December 06, 2012

OK. Thanks for the information. Painting in reverse must be alright to do.

Posted by ellenkeagy on May 27, 2011

Oh ok, I feel too that every painting is an abstract from the original subject unless it's photorealism, I suppose... I think we're on the same page now. ;) Often I put paint to paper with no prior thought as to what it will become and eventually see an image and work it to where I feel it's done...Thanks!

Posted by nicovanoosten on May 27, 2011

Yes I do the same. Thanks for your reply.

 
+

Posted by ellenkeagy on May 27, 2011

Can you define your thoughts on what 'an abstraction' is to you?

Posted by nicovanoosten on May 27, 2011

Hi Ellen. My question on the forum was not about 'an abstraction', because every painting is an abstraction, as Magritte pointed us out neatly. I am asking the question about abstract work, in which you see no natural forms/figurations. Then you have to look for other clues if you are to decide if it's finished.

Hi, it's me again. I've looked it up on Wikipedia (not to be confused with wikileaks ;-)). This is what Wiki says about groovy: Groovy is a slang term popular during the 1960s and 1970s and which is often associated with African American culture of that era. It is roughly synonymous with words such as cool, excellent, fashionable, or amazing, depending on context. Groovy originated in the jazz culture of the 1930s, in which it referred to the groove of a piece of music.[1] Groovy had largely vanished from everyday use by 1980.[2]

Posted by ruthmarie on January 17, 2011

Your welcome... sorry about the local colloquialism! I use the word to say that in my opinion your work falls under the upper echelon of super coolness! Groovy is a term still used by a lot of super cool individuals in America! Thanks for accepting my friendship.
