I adventure as follows:
• cut yesterday's 16x20" start in half,
• take the top 10x16" half and drip/splatter black ink on it,
• let that dry,
• rotate the paper to portrait orientation and paint a 'land mass' across the lower third or so with transparent green gold acrylic,
• mix up some opaque titanium white, some glazing liquid, and a touch of opaque bright aqua green,
• use a palette knife to spread the mix over areas of the painting, rotating my paper repeatedly.
I enjoy the not knowing.
I like the textural energy that emerges.
Here's who I am today.

Love the little black dots and the texture of the type... on a journey with Dotty! Fun!
Sheila, thanks. Definitely a journey : )
I found a few black dots on my purple crocs, too!
I was away all yesterday, babysitting duty. I am always amazed at your adventurous spirit. That white pulls it all together. Haven't tried ink or drips.
Makes me laugh to hear you refer to my adventurous spirit. I guess I do have adventure in me but I don't know that I'd think to enumerate adventurousness as a character trait if someone asked me to describe myself. Thank you for the affirmation.
You are adventurous, bold and brilliant at explanations too!
Thanks for your feedback, Gillian. It's great to be back in touch : )
I copied your spirit in class today on a piece that just wasn't coming together. I will photograph and post not in the 30 x 30. Got the approval stamp!!!
Woo hoo—can't wait to see! This is making me smile b/c YOU were MY inspiration in the studio today, and you'll see when I post later today!
LOL. Purple... perfect!!
