Progress on Big Turquoise

Big Turquoise painting in progress

“The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.”

— Piet Mondrian

I’m making slow progress on the big turquoise abstract painting. It seems to have a life of its own now. The composition is developing into a story. What story do you see?

From my Art Journal on June 6, 2023

I dream of a free-spirited approach to applying paint in active, spontaneous ways. However, my inner painter or expression seems to prefer curvy delineated shapes. The painting’s process is one more of considering the next step, feeling, and waiting for a response, a nudge, or guidance on the next move.
