March 30, 2022 – Experimenting With Polyptychs, Part 2 – Separating, or Joining Panels While Painting : How Does it Affect My Creativity? Detail View : Cut and UnCut Panel Edges

Before I change my blog posting pace for 2-3 days with health & other related issues, I wanted to follow-up yesterdays Part 1 in my current art blog post series – Experimenting With Polyptychs.

Trying out painting the multi-panel work with the edges of the canvases pressed together, or as much as’s possible with separate stretched canvases, I took the above shot of a “mostly” completed new work, God and Yellow Twilight 😊

The left side seam is carefully – very carefully – split via my using a new long palette knife blade, while the right side seam is still intact between the 2 panels.

With my single panel work, splitting a swoop of pigment or accidentally created shape resembling a bird or person, is not a concern. Now, here and there, are potential interesting shapes one could “see” as a bird or such. And some of them, like the bird like shape middle right circled below, will be sliced through —

Whether I’ll end up preferring single full canvas works, or multi-panel polyptychs, I honestly don’t know right now. My guess is, I’m gonna like keeping on doing both 😊 But we won’t know that til sometime in the near to far future ☺️

Stay well everyone! There’s all kinds of love for all kinds of people, things and things to do – and it’s usually a good thing to get to know them all 💕
