You can scrape back the painted line
between figure & landscape. The forms may be simultaneously blurred &
strengthened by pulling color through color.
When you want to leave behind
composition as a problem to be solved, it helps to think of color,
form & surface as elements of centrality.
Pynchon was writing about a specific
era, but he could have been describing a landscape or a figure as "...this little parenthesis of light."
Ideas like these get in the way of
painting & are useful in that way.
