Day 16 January 30 x 30 2017

Small mixed crayons, mostly my oil/wax crayons, neo-color I, caran d'ache. Looking at this on the screen I am thinking what if... so I may tweak this. Think it could be warmed a bit...

Day 15 January 30 x 30 2017

When I posted day 13 I mentioned that I might tweak the image after watching Nicholas Wilton's video about control and spontaneity.  He is a marvelous teacher and generous. Control and spontaneity don't have to opposites, but can work together and compliment one to the other.  Just added areas of a sort of veil in controlled rectangular fashion. I have decided that if figures or any other images try to sneak into my abstract I am going to let them come and welcome them.

Day 14 January 30 x 30 2017

More circles in the sky, charcoal and chalks on brown paper. Somehow my scanner doesn't quite pick up the correct tone of the brown paper. Knowing that everyone sees this differently on their monitors or tablets etc I am leaving it alone. Looks a little too dark!

Each evening I sit in bed, my new studio, ha ha, and try to let myself go and see what new marks I will be making. Certain materials I react differently than with others. I usually have several going at the same time, sometimes changing, adding or discarding.
