While happily experimenting with brushes, paint behavior, strokes, colors, I am ending up imposing a “picture” on top of the chaos. I’ve been staring at abstract paintings when available (one at the funeral arrangement office today) and looking at the choices made. The first painting (above) was done in class and I was experimenting with using torn paper towel with Susan Faludi’s face. The second painting is “practice between classes” at home.
