Panel Persistence
Today I completed a painting on the third 5 x 7″ panel given to me by Lola Jovan.
I had found my way to what was likely to be a halfway point with this painting when the shiny sparkle of a different idea captured my attention, and I thought about rotating the panel and repainting its entire surface with an overcoat that could be the undercoat for my fresh new vision.
But.
I had set the panel about six feet from the desk where I was working at some task. Next time I looked up from that distance and took in my not-yet-painted-over work-in-progress, it called to me, Come play some more! See where you can take me before you cover me up!
So I did.
