I had intended a clear vase, with lots more foliage going on in negative painting. This background was intended as the first layer for more glazes to follow. However, with a little help from my friends, the Painting spoke to me, leading in a very different direction. Have to admit, I was almost too stubborn to listen.
Am simply not used to so few areas focus competing for attention in one of my pieces, with so much quiet space overall. But also must admit that I do like this work quite a lot.

Woo! I really love this! Stunning colors and beautiful composition. And thanks for describing the process. It is always interesting to see the evolution of a work of art.
Della, thanks to you and other artist friends, I ended up not think myself too crazy for thinking that I'd found my Painting so early in the process. Something very different for my work, that's for sure!
Vera, I like it very much also! You sound as thought you are enjoying the process.
Well I did. I mean, what's to lose but a piece of paper. Even then, I can gesso over it and use again! LOL!
Vera, your paintings always cheer me up.:) I'm a big fan of using complimentary colors together. They give a painting energy.
Btw, how do you get those angle shots of your canvases? PSP or are you just a good photographer? I like to see the outside edges of the gallery wraps.
Billie, what a sweet thing to say! Am glad they cheer you. I am a decent photographer Billie, but even a better graphic artist! ☺
