welcomes you to share in her exploration!

I love jumping into a new painting...and what better way to demonstrate my process than to giving you a sneak preview of a work in progress.
Before my husband and I headed out on this year's annual summer drive exploring a variety of country sides and metropolitan areas -- this time traveling north to south in the USA -- my painting had a terrific start.
Inspiration for colors grew from miscellaneous sources:
magazines, drawings, color studies and wallpaper.
Right now I am carefully contemplating:
What shall I create/or not create in the white spaces?
How will I best integrate my use of paper clippings and puzzle pieces?
Do fragments stay or do they go?
Are painted areas offering the best advantages for moving the viewer's eyes around the canvas?
Are colors harmonizing or distracting?
Should a clipping be an actual source for creative contemplation
becoming a vignette within a painting?
This is a thoughtful project with a deadline for completion in Florida no later than October 31.
Wish me luck! I will be back to share the results.
Please stay tuned!
