Oil on canvas

For this piece I chose to focus on the piece of me that allows me to do my favorite thing, paint. I’m usually walking around with some type of band-aid or wound cover on my hands, so this felt right.

I also regularly move paint around the canvas with my fingers, for affect, and because I love the feel of making contact with my intended outcome. It helps ground my intent into a confined area, allowing for more deliberate decisions.
