The nature of the process...

This one is an 8x8. Maybe it doesn't look like it but I am struggling with keeping it loose. My right brain is screaming at me again saying "that doesn't look like a flower!"  Does anyone know how to make the left brain be quiet? It's very interesting that every painting carries a different experience. Sometimes it's easy and it just flows and other days I struggle. I think that is just the nature of the process.

  7. My left brain is a royal pain and often keeps me all structured when I want to be free, free, free! I think you did a great job of shushing it!

  8. Really lovely. I have the same struggle. It helps me to work at an easel while standing and reminding myself to step back frequently to get a different perspective.
    Big brushes don't let you fuss with minute details.
    Love that you share your progress & you encourage me to get busy with my paints.
