Progress of a painting - "This Infinite Struggle"

The Wheels of Time
...some of my paintings stay unfinished longer than others. Sometimes years pass by until a painting finds its way to completion. "This infinite Struggle" was one of these 'slow burners'.
I think I started this canvas about 4 years ago and spend just a few days on it until I got stuck somehow and left it on my studio walls for the next years. It already had a nice composition of abstract forms and patterns but I couldn't find inspiration to complete it. Then one day I came across a phot of two sparrows, fighting with each other over a crumb of bread. I instantly loved the idea of 'war & dispute' happening in nature also. So I had to make a painting out of these fighting birds and this old blue canvas matched just perfectly.
I always trust the process and work very patiently on every piece. Sometimes when you don't know how to go on, It's maybe good to let a painting sit for a while until it all comes together naturally.
Patience is a virtue ;-)

Love your work! I know the feeling, I've had paintings hanging on my wall for years that I always felt were unfinished, then one day I just take it down and finish it.
Right...that happens sometimes 🙂 what are you painting?
Skulls, bones, monsters. The occasional puppy portrait.
