I tried working smaller today and discovered, as the case with my quilts, this just isn't my format. This canvas is 12"x 14", and while it doesn't suck; it also doesn't work. Just not enough space for the kind of gestures that I use. Another one for the recycle bin, but I learned a good lesson. Playing and experimenting is our best teacher.
Now that I know the canvas should be larger, I can work with the same concept more successfully....or not. Painting is always a mysterynever quite doing what you expected but giving you the gift of surprise with each canvas.
Tired and ready for dinner....until tomorrow....go make some art with no expectations.
