I started this similar to yesterday's painting but coated the support with the flow medium first (I'm determined to find a good use for it). I used ceruleun blue, alazarin crimson and white. Due to the flow medium the paint was very 'squidgy' as I rolled and the imprint of the rollers was apparent. I decided to go with this and leave the pattern to take me forward. This was how it looked:


I added more paint keeping with the general shapes formed

So far not too bad - but then it went hay wire and resulted in the painting you see at the top. Not good at all, I somehow lost the way on this one. I shall see if I can save it as there are some elements in it that I like. I shall wait a awhile before I look at it again. Or maybe I will cut it up into smaller paintings and go from there.


You win some, you lose some...
