Landscope-- Dwellings

I've never intentionally made a series of pictures, but have found that I've used a similar composition several times now. I'm enjoying the challenge of making variations on a theme. I don't necessarily have a result in mind. I start with a light simple sketch to help me see where things go on the page. As the paint dries, I look for shapes to appear, then add definition by building up layers with colored washes. Varying the type of brush and the brush stroke keeps me interested. I also like painting to music, according to my mood. The colors are very important. I find that colors can affect me almost like a tuning fork; they help to align me.
