Well, last night in a dream I worked out where I wanted to go with today's painting, but it didn't go there either!
Here's what I had as my starting point:

Uh huh.... dreamlike and.... ready for? Anything!!
And, as you know, dreams can land one anywhere, whether it makes sense or not! You've got the spirit!
You were so bold with painting out so much of your start and like what you have kept - can't wait to see where you go next.
Been there!!! Guess the only way is to go where the painting is taking you. Guess the painting wanted a complete overhaul!
I think you are in a good place now.!!!
LOL
Janet, thanks for stopping by to visit and for your affirmation and enthusiasm. Love the camaraderie!
You HAVE been there! It's so much fun to have this shared experience. I am really enjoying letting paintings take me where they will. Well, that's not really accurate—what happens seems to me to be a full-on collaboration, a chemical reaction between what a painting is and who I am in a given moment.
I agree, feels like I'm in a good place.
I love the rhythmical pattern!
And: dreaming about a painting. Never had that! Must be really interesting and a nice experience;-)
Thanks for your appreciation of the rhythmical pattern. It felt just right as I painted it.
I have always had a pretty active dream life, and in the past 2+ years since I began painting, I have painted several times in my dreams : )
I paint with such abandon in my dreams. This piece Dotty is simply waiting to be uncovered in another way and I like its new subtle overcoat.
Love hearing that you also paint in your dreams—though your painting dreams sound wilder and freer. Mine are delightful but mostly of an engaging problem-solving sort.
I like your take on this evolving piece, that it is simply waiting to be uncovered in another way.
