I started a new canvas yesterday.  It was bright white and beautiful and just sat there beckoning me away from the big, much-more-serious one that I should have been working on.

This is the most exciting phase of a new piece because things change so fast.  It’s impossible to know this early on what the final piece will look like.  It’s so unpredictable that when it’s finished I should be just as surprised as you are.

My best guess is that the final image will have this structure but I don’t dare to guess what the colors will be or if there will be a figure or a chair or an angel’s wing.  Here are some shots of the work in process.
