Gee-o

I'd been struggling with a painting of a fence and field of wildflowers in painting group. It was a tricky composition with perspective, lots of greens and large spaces to fill. I continued to work on it when I got home, but ended up tossing it after a half-hearted attempt to salvage it. I don't think I was very into it to begin with. In fact, it took me quite a lor of Googling before I settled on that photo reference.

It didn't occur to me until the next morning, that I might change the frustration energy by just sitting down to a blank page to play. I have found in the past, that making shapes, dragging colors around  the page, using a variety of mediums, is very freeing. Little thinking goes into my fun fest. Because I think of it as practice, there's no pressure to produce something frameable.
It's just like how I cook; I grab a little of this and some of that, and add a pinch or a dollop. It's a very intuitive process, and it always comes out delicious.
