This is another piece that I created in New Smyrna Beach, FL during my directed individual study workshop. "Recycled" image size is 30 x 22 (on printmaking paper). This is another example of "letting go" of my control and just having fun. Some of the elements (or shapes) that I started painting are still barely there - I first painted an large orange triangle in the top right hand corner, then 3 loops in blue at left hand corner, wrote the word "kaboom" in green near the bottom, put 3 orange check marks at bottom right, finished with an a black solid area near bottom. After all this was completed, I composed the painting without completely obliterating all of the first elements. I HAD FUN! Isn't that what we strive for? And to top it off, I love the painting.
This weekend, August 28 and 29, I will be one of the artists at the York "ArtFest" held along the creek in downtown historic York, PA. Hours are Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 10-4. Stop by if you attend. If I can manage to frame "Recycled" over the next couple of days, I'll have it exhibited.

This is so interesting - it somehow reminds me of my kitchen!
lots of energy and rhythm going on here..You're right, Dianne, I see a copper pot overflowing and the cook in the background watching it happen!
Very dynamic--I love it, too.
