Finally Finished! This painting took many twists and turns and this is the end result. Hard to believe it is the same one pictured in my last post!
As a collage, it just wasn't working for me so two days before Christmas, my Christmas present painting got a few coats of Gesso and subsequently transformed into this one! It was finished last week and is going to it's new home in a few days.
I learned quite a lot with this painting. I realize that I was planning and thinking about the colours of the walls and furniture in the room it was going to reside in way too much. I found myself tightening up and worrying which is not conducive to creating an abstract painting. As soon as I was able to let myself go and have my eyes tell the brush what to do without my brain getting in the way too much, I started to have fun and in a few days the painting told me it was finished.
I have another Christmas present painting, a 30" x 30" canvas ready to start, paint tubes and brushes ready, painting apron on! Let's see where this one takes me!!
