fearless Creating: Red and more Red


Today we celebrate vernal equinox--joy in the longer days, warmth and sunlight, sorrow as my studio becomes dormant.  Already the farm has taken over--deliveries, orders, harvesting, planting, long days spent outside working soil.  Bittersweet.  I do not have the time, energy or attention span to paint--so I "paint" with my camera. 

 

This is the second experiment exploring red, painting Rococo tulips.

 

 This is the third session, I doubled the size of sheet and tried to make looser brushstrokes and let them bleed over the sheet.


I worked awhile longer after this photo.  It only needs three or four brush strokes, unfortunately it requires hours of contemplation to lay those strokes in perfectly.  It has been lying like this for a month now, my goal is to finish it before August.
