This started off a failed attempt at a nightscape outside a Mexican produce store. In fact if you turn it upside-down you can still make out the boxes of fruit and veggies and the pinatas hanging from the ceiling. It didn't turn out very good but I never got rid of the canvas. It's been scraped down and sanded and turned into a riot! When I turned the piece upside-down I could let my imagination see a composition out of the mess of dark colors that made no sense to me anymore and then start indicating the movements of people and smoke and fire and buildings that I see... like seeing things in the clouds. oil on canvas 11 by 14
