Description

What was the inspiration behind the painting?

This painting was inspired by a need for freedom. There are a lot of layers in this painting, and it was, for a while, a spacey, but too structured painting that hung in my son’s room.  He liked it. I never thought it was finished. I wanted it freer.  It turns out I was only a few transparent layers and some intuitive brush strokes away from what it is now.

What were its challenges? 

The biggest challenge was that people liked an unfinished painting that I was sure wasn’t done. Going with my gut and laying the paint down on top of it took me a bit.  Getting started… again.
