This winter I'm enjoying being in the warmth of a studio in my basement and just experimenting! Its not often artists get to do this what with gallery deadlines and events to attend! But its so much fun especially because you're painting for yourself and hopefully fearlessly! And its only when you can get past the fear can you progress and grow. Heres a progression of a painting I did recently. The scraping off created some beautiful effects that I left in. There were quite a few sessions between steps 4 and 5 where the painting was built up slowly after being scraped off. Do you think you would ever try scraping off your painting and see where it leads you?
