Staying in Motion

I started a new piece today and it felt good to push the green wax to the back of the palette!  Whew, I’ve been overdosing on green.  This piece is full of grays which I’m interpreting as blue/gray and tomorrow I’ll add some warm colors.  After I was into this piece for a couple of hours, I realized I was using my materials more efficiently.  It has taken a long time to become natural with mixing colors, managing the brushes in wax, returning wax to palette, and generally handling these alien materials.  I was able to stay in MOTION today and think a little less about process - which gave me more space to think about my piece of art.  

It’s hard to tell where it’s going right now but I’m feeling good about it.  At the moment, it’s on track.  I didn’t want to stop working tonight because I was in the groove —- but I was tired and that can bring on a bad decision too easily.  SO, I spent some time with the studio cats and the dogs and I left for the day.  We’ll see where tomorrow takes this piece.
