Next come the lines and circles of plants piercing the surface.
Not this kind of plant, but follow the lines in this photo. They set up a rhythm.
I'll usually do a drawing similar to this one...
... Or this one, to find the rhythm. Not sure I will this time.
But these blobs will become all kinds of greens.
This painting is about layers and the play between them. I don't want to say too much. We'll let it develop and see what happens. But I will be playing with that blue rag some more, maybe finger painting a bit. I want to delight in the textures and rhythms. Pick colors, push glazes, and splat where I need to splat. You know, try some new ways to put on the paint and make it flow and float. Just like those clouds in the sky.
In part, I have to thank Sonia, for reinforcing this play. Even though I was headed this way, she helped push me over that edge... In a good way. So thanks. You are a remarkable friend, darling.
Oh yes, we need music. It is Naughty Friday, go soak up some fun.
Ahh, time to lighten up ....have a good weekend.

My teach, David Dewey, used to do these directional marks doodles too. I have yet to do them but I should!
It's good to get the rhythms down 1st.
I as far as painting that gold tea set goes - I tried and failed. Too glitzy for me :(
Give me a pink..give me a blue
and I have a home run :)
Gold..forgettaboutit
Hi Goldfinger- I know what you mean about the colors..and your pinks and blues are marvelous.
I love to do the marks. I used to do tons of directional doodles at random to set up something I wanted to do and then go find what it took to make that rhythm in a still life or a landscape something real too. Work it both backwards and forwards.
:)
