Painting Day 2: going beyond reckless abandonment


The temptation is to stay in the "pretty color" realm...
but the texture of many layers of paint creates luminous color that is far more satisfying 
when I push beyond the first few seductive layers...





So the painting goes into its adolescent growing pain stage...



color is less important at this stage than creating a composition...


I had a break through with the composition at the end of my last work day.
At least that's what I thought... when I left the studio.  

You'll get to see it in the next blog post.

stay tuned!
