I do love this painting, and I have enjoyed creating this series. After these first four, however, my interests took a turn, which you will see in the coming days (if you stay tuned).

I may—or may not—work on this one some more, but I haven’t yet (and it’s been about 3 months), so this may be done.

Here is one of my first paintings of this year. Doing a lot of experimenting–trying different things. Some are working out great; some not so much. I am happy with this painting, though I’ve since started heading in another direction (or 10). I’ve done about four paintings like this so far. More to come tomorrow.

I was never satisfied with the initial version of this painting, so I worked on it a bit last night. I decided I very much liked the sense of stacked and possibly falling boxes on the right hand side of the painting (now turned 90° counterclockwise), so I worked to carry that theme throughout. I’m pretty happy with it now. It reminds me of the idea of pushing oneself off-balance, and then having to catch oneself—a falling and recovery, ala Merce Cunningham.
Here was the original version, which just didn’t quite make it:

It is taking me a while to get back in the groove, though. Worked on 3 paintings Monday night, with no resolution on any of them. Did this one last night, though I am considering some color changes here and there. Temporarily then, here it is.

Last night’s mini-painting. I’ve started most of the rest of these mini-paintings with a small composition sketch (which invariably is only a starting place and gets changed along the way), but I wiped out the sketch for this one, and just felt my way into each block of color. I reworked the initial version of this painting in thicker paint applied with a palette knife, and I like it better still.
Gotta try stuff, and I like what happened here. These tiny paintings are such a great little way to work out my ideas! I’m really looking forward to whatever will happen later when I resume working bigger again.

One more from last night. Hmmm. I did four of these yesterday, and I’m just not sure about any of them. Not sure yet, anyway. 😐

Here’s another, a bit tamer than the last one.
