3 “ Color Poems” … the first two are finished and they are 30x30” and 18x18” respectively. Both are oil on canvas and started and finished this year. The third one is 48x60” and was originally “ finished” a few years ago but now is in the middle of a big overhaul or re-do! It’s is oil on canvas as well…. I call them “ color poems “ although I don’t think that’s exactly original. They are also what I call random design but I do get that that’s an oxymoron! I mean that they are impulsively started and gotten to the first stage very quickly and with little thought before working them further. I take minutes to make a mess than hours to try to clean it up!! I often paint myself into corners that way and you would have thought I’d have learned better by now but it always seems that if there is an easy way, I take the hard way!! Not on purpose, mind you!! I admire painters that put a lot of forethought into their work.That doesn’t seem to work out real well for me though. I get to the pulling out my hair stage way too easily if I “ try” to paint something!!
