"Push Play", 50.8cm x 52.07cm (20" x 20.5"), Mixed media (latex and acrylic paint on a flannel shirt, a cloth shop glove, rags and clothing scraps), 09/08/2021, - Greg Hausler
This painting sat unfinished for years! I had started it long ago, lost both my direction & my interest. I did not like where it was going. This year gradually worked on it again, more and more, steadily building a vision and purpose for it. The more I picked it, the more I gained steam until it became the only piece I worked on for a while. I completed it on my birthday and now I’m very happy with how it turned out.
Can you find my favorite, torn, old flannel t-shirt? It's in there; look for the collar and buttons. The work glove should be completely obvious, but I managed to change the appearance of the direction of the thumb.
As usual, it is up to the viewer to decide what "Push Play" means. The title is literally in the piece, in an intentionally confusing arrangement.
