These are fun to do!

I love doing this kind of painting...First there was no added color "stripes", now there are two. Tomorrow and the next days I'll let it linger where I can see it and soon it will come to me what to do with it next. There are so many possibilities! I sit a distance away and eye it with a pencil or any thin straight object I can find to hold it up and play with different lines.  Oh so many choices!! It's a big one too so lots of room to play with, 78 x 54. Let the games begin! Cheers! (I also call this kind of painting a ‘secondary painting’ as the color was scraped off of another painting and instead of throwing it away, I scrape it on a new canvas. Each time it’s like magic, I love doing this!!)

Slowly adding lines! Will have to sleep on it for a bit!

Hum...I'm on a roll with these...I might have to create a new category for them!

Maybe it's time to create a new category on my website for these fellows. Think I'll do some more and then give them a fun name...they kind of remind me of shadow dancers. Not sure what a shadow dancer is, but I think that's what I'll call this catagory of painting. I love the complexity of them. Another fun fact about them, they create a secondary, what I'll call a "byproduct" painting with the paint I save from scrapping it off as I create the first painting.  The blog below is what was created from the scrapings from this one.
