Little Blue
TEMPERA ON CANVAS 18 x 24 cm.
This paintings is Mele's first attempt to paint on a small canvas. Actually, this size is more challenging for him. He needs to work only with his fingers and I must be much more attentive to his indications: it's easy to do mistakes.
He started with a light purple and then he added various shades of blue. At a point he asked me to pour diluted white paint in a certain place on the canvas. I did it, but when I understood he wanted me to stop it was, in his opinion, too late. I replied that if he didn't like so much white he could spread it, but he answered it had to stay as it was... and that white paint was too much anyway. I don't know, for the moment, what he intended to represent.
