Below is the painting as I originally posted it. I always have the urge to tidy up “looseness”; I’m not sure that’s always best. In this case though, I like the colors in the finished image better, and it more nearly matches my intent.
This is probably too much information, but…I occasionally get bad belly pain from as yet unidentified source. It makes me feel exhausted and uninterested, basically in life, nevermind art. So this day I resorted to pointless scribbling, but at least bright colors. I didn’t mean to go with primaries, but that seems to be one of my default settings if I’m not paying attention.
If there is any meaning in this, it comes purely from subconscious guidance. As far as my conscious mind knew, I was just trying to fill the form of making something that I could post. And then going to take another nap.
