About the painting: this began as one of the course color studies, which became an underpainting for the final piece. Acrylic paint, palette knife, paint brush, spray bottle and rubber wedge. The chromatic black is my new favorite color - a mix of Van Dyke Brown and Prussian Blue. Of the colors nearest to black in art, Pauline says the goal is "dark, not dead." Omg. Right on, I say.

This is my kinda party—byo thousands of tiny failures. Better even than toilet paper 'cause there is an unending supply available to each and every one of us.

ha ha! Dotty - byo thousands of tiny failures...that's all any of us can do, right? And thank you. This little piece felt grand in its tiny space, and gave me the smallest glimpse of how you might feel making your miniature masterpieces. :)

"Just do something." That IS the key. I try to explain to some of my artist friends but it seems to fall on deaf ears. I go and to play not paint is what I tell myself and I join "cookie" my exuberant inner child to do more BossyPants prompt and let them take me where they want. Love your energetic abstraction and some new colors!
