I finally made some progress with my two intuitive canvases. Only very little, it was still too hot, and the heat and humidity is robbing me of all my energy. But at least I got another layer added to both paintings. I had actually worked on them a little bit in my holiday, but never got as far as posting them. So here's the earlier layers.
And here's the latest layers. It seems I had an urge to tone them down a bit, using cool colours. And I enjoyed using my new foam roller. And lots of dripping. I just love dripping. It's probably my most favourite technique.

I still have no idea where they are going, but I'm trying to enjoy the process and stay open, and to suppress any urge to plan and decide too much ahead (which is not always easy). Today's finally a bit cooler, and according to the weather forecast, temperatures should go down even more at the weekend, with lots of rain. Perfect for staying at home and spending the days in the studio.
I also got my "left over paint" sketchbook and white gel pen out again, and drew a mandala and some doodles.
Your painting is coming along nicely, I love drips, too. The mandalas are beautiful,Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYummmmmm!!! All the pieces look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWunderschön!
ReplyDeleteI love these intuitive pieces - I liked the vibrancy before you toned them down but with the cool blue tones and drips it now makes me think of an underwater scene and it'll be interesting to see how it progresses. It makes me laugh that in every post you complain about the heat of summer and I complain about the lack of any heat at all this summer!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous canvas paintings. Impressive colours and fine details.
ReplyDeleteLove ♥
Ooh... these are wonderful abstracts Kay! I love the colours! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove all the turquoises and blues in the painting and the wonderful mandelas.
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are exciting. I can't wait to see them finished. I understand about not knowing where you are going and trying to trust the process. Just keep showing up. Love the mandalas as well.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful works! Very well done. It's hot over here as well and it too just takes all my energy. Great work!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, dripping is the best! I got all excited when I saw the top painting in the first picture. It looked like a very intrigueing head to me. Looking forward to what you'll see in it! Your mandala and doodles are beautiful and exquisite ....
