Sometimes drippy mixed green leftover from yesterday, washed over a 2015 painting and left to dry; a few colors squeezed directly onto the substrate and mixed/spread with a palette knife; use of a metal kitchen skewer to scratch through wet paint; scribbles made with a paint marker, also left to dry; application of paint onto a foam roller moved over random sections of the substrate; and highlighting some residual color still peeping out from the original painting, using paint markers again … sometimes that combination of expressive actions feels just right.
Such was the case today.
