so... after returning home.... i had the chance to sneak back in the studio for the afternoon.there was something refreshing about being back to work... with a new perspective. i had absolutely no hesitation about jumping in and mixing things up.
i took a former painting -- and reworked the background. the painting changed course dramatically.... and now it's time to address the foreground. tomorrow.. i'll have additional hours to bring the foreground out with layers of glaze.
i like days like these... where being frivolous and decisive make good artistic progress.
an artist must always remember to 'allow the process to be the teacher'... and not get too precious with the results.
