Environmental sustainability does not stop in my studio. This unplanned composition of waste is worthwhile watching.
Palette Made: Coincidence in Painting in Canvas
Coincidence is a main aspect in the creative process. Every painter has a random generator at hand: the painting palette.
I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.

Palette Made: Waste Paintings on Canvas
Paint, typically thrown away, canvas no longer needed, and time in between other oil paintings. That is all I needed for this work:
Many artists throw away paint, as I did. Some day I started to take photos of my palette, creating my palette paintings. Some month later I remembered the waste paint I collected, hand some used canvases no longer needed.
I started throwing the remains on the ground. I waited. Turned around the structures. Added more paint, removed others.
Now I decided I am done.
Painting today does not mean any more that someone has painted. It also could mean: there is paint. These paintings resulted from rests of paint on a heavily used palette: Re-used.
