Bloom!

Fun with "negative" painting. Sometimes...ok...often times I just have to throw some paint around. I do this with my collage papers, watercolor paper and on canvas or clapboard. Here is an example. The red colors with a variety of tones, lines and textures were thrown down over the entire surface. Later I came in and painted the lighter tones around the flowers and the word bloom. This is a fun way to have fun with paint with an energetic, spontaneous stroke. I then come to it with a more discerning eye and find the form within.
