A Whole Lot of Scrapin' Going On

I'm finally getting back to a regular painting

routine. It's the time of year when schools

start up again that I feel my creativity getting

in gear as well. I have been busy re- working

a painting that I had considered finished  for months

until  I realized it was an unfortunate palette 

that had bothered me about it.
(Sometimes it takes awhile before a message gets through!)

So gesso, more molding paste to the rescue,

more paint, and a whole lot of scraping going on!

I actually enjoy this part of the process

when dry paint is flying and anything

is possible.  I try not to look too closely at what

I'm "un-doing" but try to find a rhythm

to carry me through it.  (Jerry Lee Lewis tunes?!)

 This is the painting repainted and then scraped again.

It is large for me, (30"x24") and I am working it

in three sections. Whether it remains a triptych remains

to be seen.

 This is a close up detail. I am loving the texture

and found markings. 

Another one. Part of the process is taking

lots of photos of the parts I love as they may

soon be covered over. I can then use
the photos for altering or copying for
my collages.

I'll be posting about my progress with the painting

as it goes along, 'til then, rock on, I am!
