Journey of 4 paintings

WELCOME!

Come along with me,

to watch the unfolding

of 4 paintings.

Their journey begins.....

Every time I look at a blank canvas, board or paper,

there is a bit of angst.

This quote has me thinking differently.

"I begin a painting with a series of mistakes."

Robert Motherwell

Easy peasy.

Mistakes....no problem.

4- 11x10 300# cold press watercolor papers.

So that I wouldn't have to look at that white paper

I started making marks with a charcoal stick.

Next I took red-orange acrylic paint 

and spread it on with a plastic card

no thinking allowed...quickly get it on there.

That's it for today.

You might be wondering why I'm working on 4 paintings.

Because working one painting can get precious,
fear to move beyond your comfort zone.

If there are several going at once 
you are more apt to take risks, 
push it, try the absurd, the impossible.

When their journey is done,

there will either be 1 decent painting

or a series.

Look what I found at Michaels!

How cool is this?!

"Freaky Halloween Fabric" 

It comes in natural, black and green.

Isn't that big open weave fabulous?

Great texture don't you think?

Methinks this will be incorporated

into these paintings.

Stay tuned, there's much more to come.

or better yet,

 consider joining me.
