This piece has been four different paintings and finally, I think i have one that sits well with me. There's still some work to do on it...but here's the progression from first painting to where it's at now...
 |
| Stack |
 |
| The Grid |
 |
| Blessed Be The Rain |
 |
| Dreaming the Heat of the Fields |
So as you can see...I had no clue what was really going to happen with this piece. Throughout the process, I ran into stages that seemed set, but each time I ended up coming back to the piece a few months later and completely changing it. And as different as each step has seemed to go, I'm not sure I'd ever get to the next step without the one preceding it. So much of the color in the final piece has to do with the lines and shapes made by "Blessed Be The Rain"....It just goes to show that process, planned or not, is essential to coming up with a successful piece. And who knows, in another month or so I may continue the process...that's just how some paintings work.
