When I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, I started thinking about the new abstract painting I'm working on. Then I realized I'd described the process wrong in yesterday's post. I drew the curved shapes all in alizarin crimson, not the varied colors I mentioned. How quickly I forget!
To begin the foreground, I drew zig-zag lines across the canvas, this time actually starting with the darker reds at the bottom and working my way up to lighter orange at the top. Then I started the slow tedious process of filling in some of the shapes I'd drawn:
Tomorrow I will continue to fill in the shapes, and then I'll see what I've got.
