More exploration of that coastline.
Stage 2 (stage 1 in next slide if you're on Instagram). I collaged some Mulberry paper on top of the bits I had overworked. Splashed some more paint about. Scribbled some more in oil pastel. And will need to think about what to do next. I was writing a note yesterday about energy. I always associate energy with lots of scribbles. But that's my dispersed energy (probably my default mode). How do I express my focused energy? And will painting it help me achieve that state?
This is stage 1. I've already added too much oil pastel on top since I took this photo. So I might have to do something drastic to recover from that move. I'm glad I have this photo, so I can be reminded of the simplicity and freshness I can achieve with a minimal amount of strokes.
