I worked on these two paintings consecutively and while the palette is the same in each, the shapes and composition are very different . It was a fun excercise to see where my mind went from one to another.
Primer
by Anna Rabinowitz
1.
Extrude light from darkness.
When day breaks scoop up shards.
Ask time to make the pieces fit.
Who has more leisure than time?
Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end.
-Woody Allen
2.
Slice into a section of the waters,
Place heaven between the margins,
Give it a long arm and an index finger pointed
in your direction. Wonder
if you are being scolded or invited to proceed.
The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill
a heart. -Albert Camus

What a very cool exercise Marie! I love the palette in both of them. I can't say why, because I like both paintings, but for some reason I'm more attracted to the first (vertical) painting. I keep going back to that one. Is it because it's a bit more symmetrical? Or IS it even more symmetrical? Just not sure. Maybe I'll figure it out whenever I get to see them in person.
