Tiny Pieces

 I absolutely adore these little close-ups of the paint in little areas of the canvas I'm working on. I'm such a sucker for texture, and would keep my paintings full of it if it didn't make them so BUSY! There comes a time when simplifying and breaking up the space is necessary, and I must admit that it is hard for me to make those leaps.

I need to work on my attachments. ;) Zen painting...

This is a small area of one that I have been working on for a while. It has reached a point where I am in love with every part of it, and I am reluctant to make the next move. It sits in my office, in full view and I gaze at it...loving the colours and textures. Every once in a while, I flip it sideways or upside down to see if anything wants to be brought out, or cut back. For the longest time, I have seen a girl blowing a bubble...'cosmic bubble' comes to mind as a title, and I may work towards that and see how it plays out. :)

This part of the same painting reminds me of a little seed... buried under the earth... cozied in, and waiting for the right time to burst. I also see a volcano... seed buried in the volcano... interesting...

I just never know where it will all lead, and I enjoy the process so completely...the surprise of it, the play of it. Yum.
