This painting uses a technique for breaking through your creative block. Again I used a credit card and Yupo. Those two together take control out of the equation. You get what you get. And yes, it might be a hot mess. But it is organic and free-flowing. There are areas of interesting cracking and texture that are not visible in the low res image, unfortunately.

I will be trying more of these. I noticed I was relaxed while working on them. A little closer to getting in the zone.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing,
wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating;
there is really no such thing as bad weather,
only different kinds of good weather.
John Ruskin

Sometimes we should express our gratitude
for the small and simple things like
the scent of the rain,
the taste of your favorite food,
or the sound of a loved one’s voice.
Joseph B. Wirthlin

I’ve sort of gone full circle as they say. From light to dark. Wasn’t my plan, but I chuckled when I saw it. These two are continuations of previous days. Below is the first of the series. They may still get more layers. 🙂

TIme for a dip in the pool! 112 in Phoenix today. Yikes! I’m staying inside!

In rivers, the water that you touch
is the last of what has passed and
the first of that which comes;
so with present time.
Leonardo da Vinci
