Most times art is just plain old work and determination

This days post is about a painting that just would not die.  I put it on and said yes, like Richter the next day and I said oh hell no, that is awful.  So over the whole piece again with and orange and it
blocked it all out.  Let that sit for a few days and thought and thought so I decided to cut the piece
down and make it 36 x 36 so I scraped off the paint at the line put up blue tape and worked on another piece putting left over cold wax and oil paint on it from the next piece I was working on.
Well it started to get a voice and I had to look at it for a bit.  Was driving me nuts.  Added a bit more
paint and more motion and direction and I said now its singing.  But I missed those 12 inches I was
going to cut off so I removed the tape and married the two.  Voila!!!!!!!!!!  I knew I was done as the
name came to me just like that.    ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
