The artist is a receptacle for emotions
that come from all over the place:
from the sky,
from the earth,
from a scrap of paper,
from a passing shape,
from a spider’s web.
Pablo Picasso
Painting picture by picture,
I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments.
I painted only memories,
adding nothing, no details that I did not see.
Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness.
Edvard Munch

This quick piece was inspired by Carla Sonheim’s recent post. She inspired me to play. Thank you Carla! My only goal with this was to use up some of the leftover “puddles” of color on my palette dishes. Ran out of room for mixing! My brain needed a rest after chasing down a possible computer virus, and fixing site issues.

Here is the first, once thought failed, cactus. What do you think? Is this a good save?
The sky started as a solid plane of color. The blue was just dark enough, that I was not sure additional layers would show up. But they do. Whew! It is a little spindly. The rows are a bit uneven. Still, there is nice texture, some mixing of colors, and a few nice blooms. I am very happy with how this turned out!
