This painting started with a delicate pale green, which I had mossy intentions for, but it evolved into a rusty monolith of gears and gadgets made of shapes and lines. In spite of the busy surface where I struggled with process, deciding what to leave in, what to leave out, suffering through trial and error, there is peace and joy in spite of the struggle…
Isn’t the struggle part of the fun?
