Acrylic on Archival Gessobord with 3/4" birch sides, 12x12", Ready to hang!
Wild and crazy! Color and movement! In yesterday's wild and crazy painting I ended up blocking out some areas with a neutral so your eyes could get a rest. Today is crazier yet with color and movement. There are so many lovely interplays of color that I had to leave it all for your eyes to see. You might have to look away for a minute or two and come back. It's exhausting...ha! The digital version you are seeing looks much redder than it actually is. I would say, for instance, the bottom right corner is really a golden underpainting with brownish-red stripes and a touch of red-violet. The camera has a hard time capturing reds...it wants to exponentially emphasize anything with a hint of red.
I was thinking some more on yesterday's post while on the treadmill last night. Some of my best thinking happens there. I want to talk a bit more about freezing up when something happens that we are not expecting, or when something goes wrong or is out of our control. What I have found with these daily paintings, is that if I can relax into it and trust in the lessons I've learned, trust in myself...the outcome will be okay. Whether it works or doesn't work, there will be another day to use the lesson we learned from the day before. It's okay. Really. We are amazing beings with the capacity to think creatively in whatever situation we are planted in. And there is such grace in letting go of the things we cannot control. Live and learn. Let go and take the next step. Each day we wake to a new possibility...
