8/1/2010 - Stage 5: Completed the painting...it was an amazing experience to paint this one...lots of life themes expecially finding light in dark places...rebirth...words like purification, release, compassion, etc. came to mind during this one...
8/1/2010 - Stage 4: After having some major realizations this weekend, I cleared my schedule to continue working through the process of this painting...there are profound under-pinning to this one that I had not realized until this morning...oh the things we can show ourselves without words...I have a feeling I might finish this one before the day is over...
7/31/2010 - Stage 3: I'm exhausted but I keep feeling the need to paint today. This is not the direction I had planned to go with this one but it never is:) Up close the left side of the painting feels like a primitive mask eventhough the picture doesn't show it clearly...interesting way to bookend my week...
7/25/2010 - Stage 2: the painting is taking on more life this morning...not sure why I decided to approach this one in this style but I like the feel of the colors
7/24/2010 - Stage 1: I have an image in my mind from a trip I took at the beginning of the month so it'll be interesting to see where this one goes:)
