Maybe this painting won’t take as long as I thought in the end. I can already see parts that won’t change anymore that are fix, areas where my gaze wouldn’t “stumble”, areas that run smoothly.
Right now, I am balancing it out. I see a horizontal white stripe somewhere in the upper left and the light magenta will get several layer of dark magenta and the shape on the upper right that is yellow right now will also get layers of magenta. I love the dark magenta tone and I see it in the other painting I am working on simultaneously as well. It is a new color for me – I never used it in any of my paintings before. It is such a warm and comforting color
- it is like sitting on a shadily patio in a french wine country during a hot afternoon in the summer, crickets, smell of hey, warm wind and enjoying a deep red wine, something like Rioja ( spanish folks, please forgive me, I know it is not a french wine but it fits so well into this association.)
I always liked Rioja, its heavy dark body and the slight touch of port wine due to the time it stayed in a wooden barrel. These are the kind of associations that I have while painting. Color, surface and composition is very important to me.

It is gorgeous
Really love the mixture of colours and your shapes are almost like your own personal handwriting!

Thank you
I have never seen it this way but yeah, totally makes sense, it is like handwriting – there is a span but no entirely different way.
