100 PAINTINGS IN 100 DAYS
CHALLENGE
now in it's 11th week
TODAY'S PAINTING

​To date I've averaged 3 paintings made for each one selected.
Some of the unused paintings I've kept and others have been binned. It's some of the contents of that bin
that have been used to make this painting plus I've added some gold leaf - breathed new life into torn and discarded paper.
This seems to be inline with the Japanese concept "Wabi Sabi"
-  the aesthetic in the imperfect. 

Over the years much of my subject matter has been influenced by 'Wabi Sabi'
 - dead animals, road-kill, damaged buildings and machinery etc.
​ 
​Painting is shown in it's frame.

This is my 79th painting (79/100) and is shown in my 100 paintings gallery and my shop

For each of the last 100 days of 2018, I will be painting and posting on:
Instagram (@mikewilldridge) and Facebook (Mike Willdridge - Artist)
an original painting as part of my journey towards abstraction.

Acrylic, gouache and gold leaf collage titled:
