I started this painting today on top of a goofball abstract painting I barely even remember painting at the Hive opening last Saturday; I took out a canvas and my paints and started mixing colors I saw and painting them randomly on the cavas, Grace's dress, the color of the wall, skin tones, everything... the idea was to just throw some paint around and cover a canvas with something, then paint something more coherent on top of that willy-nilly underpainting. The mindless color becomes something to work against when you're putting some order on top of it. Here's the piece so far, slop-tastic! I'm going to take it back on location tomorrow for artwalk... oil on canvas, 30 by 24
