A pregnant pause: Painting on the fence, my manifesto for the remainder of the year!

Before attempting further works, I've decided to put my thoughts together as a guide for my future painting approach:

• The paint is applied with anything handy, and that includes the brush!
• The paint is thick yet it’s transparent
• Thick paint and dripping paint coexist
• Thick paint and transparent paint coexist
• Blurriness and sharpness coexist
• Drawn and painted structures coexist
• The approach is minimalist yet it’s picture perfect
• The abstract and the figurative are intimately intertwined
• “Black & white” and "full color" may coexist
• Monochrome and "full color" may coexist
• Bright colors and their toned down versions are intimately intertwined
  
• Warm and cool colors are intimately intertwined
  
• Values go from pure black to "pure white canvas" (no paint!)
• Experimental and fail-safe approaches coexist
  

It will be interesting to see if I can live by these standards!
