Wabi Sabi

 

I recently went to a wonderful talk on Wabi Sabi;
the Japanese aesthetic
appreciating beauty that is
"imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.

I realized how this concept applies to painting.
It’s a real challenge to let go of “perfection” and
allow a painting to be unfinished and unexpected!
That’s the fun of it all.
