high country test

The second of the five paintings I brought back from a gallery yesterday was unframed this morning. This was one of the Sky View Meadow series of 2009 -  I brushed it off and began again. Now it is called High Country. It will also serve as a test to see if I will receive this post through a gmail account instead of Comcast. Thanks to all who have taken a moment to let me know that you have (or haven't) been receiving these posts in the past 3 weeks. Interesting that the people who aren't receiving it anymore are those with Comcast email addresses. Original painting is shown below.

    It's amazing how you are able to envision such different looks when you re-do a painting, Barbara. Do you have a direction in mind when you start or do you let the painting decide? It seems that your revised paintings are usually much looser than their original versions.

    When I start reworking a painting, I have no idea where it will go. There is no plan. I take cues from the previous colors and shapes...what worked and what didn't. Perhaps they are looser because I have nothing to lose. It isn't a pristine surface anymore and if it doesn't work, I'll just wash it off and begin again.
