Nice agile start. I hit it with a couple more sessions, now stepping back for a bit. The amount of white canvas showing through feels comfortable.

resurrecting the black painting.

A new direction is a happenin. Really it’s old, the idea, but the results are nice, I think. This one isn’t done yet, but almost.

This painting is interesting from a distance, no? There is a largeness to the brushstrokes that is interesting from a close view. However, like Kikuo keeps pointing out, everything is central, the sides are boring.

The cracks from up close are making a good pattern also.

This is the newest thing rolling out of the bakery. It’s feeling very riveresque and cursive, I like that. People are remarking that is has more color and relies less on brown than previous.

(Previous state)

(this one im not sure if ill continue)

an earlier state… she was promising.

not bad, in the end I reverted (undid) to an earlier state that I monitored on my digital camera.

this is also more developed already.

second round is a light one. Seeing Kikuo’s influence here.

Hard to photograph this one cuz of it;s large, but I think it’s looking good. Now, will I really stretch it?
