This is very unusual for me. It is actually a painting I started several years ago after taking a workshop from John Salminen. I recently pulled it out and decided I should either finish it or toss it. There had been a large white shape and I softened that. I also added some of the more "fuzzy" shapes. I then cropped it quite a bit. It had been a full sheet (22 x 30) and is now 16" x 28". I am pretty happy with it. It's got lots of interesting colors and shapes and I like that. There is a lot of glazing, which is a technique of painting an area, letting it dry completely, and then painting over it with a different color, or colors.

It's wonderful, Carolyn! I love the white shape amid the vibrant warm ones.
