“Love in 40 mins” Kavir Mootoo, 2021. Acrylic + 3D paint on 2 4”x6” canvas boards. (Framed) (*SOLD*)
US$50.00
I’ve been thinking of love and Valentine’s day and what love is and one morning recently, I felt what I think could be love.
I had gotten these two canvases + green acrylic paint a few days before. I love when a canvas calls me like it did THAT MORNING. I wanted to do two separate pieces that went together in some way and I started.
I normally can’t wait long enough to put on a base before I start painting but decided to do it in this case because there were marks on the canvas that I didn’t like.
I went through my paint recently and found some I hadn’t thought of in a long time – an iridescent turquoise, an iridescent pearl, a silver glitter and I added a red that I used recently in another painting which stood out to me and which I love!
What I felt through the process was “being called” as though I HAD TO and really WANTED TO – like there was no questioning.
It felt pure. For about 40 mins, I let colour and brush speak to me and I did exactly as I was called to.
This is like a snap-shot of that period of time for me – maybe it’s what my mind looked like at that point – maybe it’s what my heart looked like.
I don’t know what someone else will see but it’s almost like I see the whole universe and my spirit, soul and a deep recess in my stomach in this.
This painting is offered as part of the wonderful #artistsupportpledge (please see photos for details).
