Chernozem Growth (in progress)
New painting yet unfinished at 2 in the morning.
It's been awhile since my last banner painting. I wanted to revisit the format with the high amount of emotions I've been feeling lately. Even writing didn't quite seem to be the right outlet. So, despite the time and my total tiredness, I picked up the brush.
It's a familiar format revisited—both expressive and declarative. Tentatively titled? Yes—Chernozem Growth.
What grows in the blackest soil; the richest depths of fertilized soul? What plant might spring? What entity might rise from the void with a prayer in its just-beating heart?
What is the beginning of things steeped in such deep questions that rise up, up, up, and give birth to something new?
Perhaps I'll be able to catch a glimpse of this in painting.
Will post more pictures as the painting progresses.
