Embracing Chaos

Not having any pending deadlines or committments for my work,
I’m finding myself free to explore and experiment like never before.
My goal to be less representational and more “expressive”
has opened me up to all kinds of discoveries.

I think this one is finished for now.

I’m not using a reference
and am trying to allow the painting to evolve on it’s own.
This was becoming a landscape, (below) however
I thought the shapes were all too similar in size
and I didn’t like that blue shape.

So this is pretty much when the chaos started.

At this point, I was ready to scrape it off and start over.

However, I’m teaching myself to work through those moments
when I have no idea what I’m doing.
I’m trying to “embrace the chaos”
and am finding it quite exhilarating!

Probably a good way to approach life these days.
