this is a painting i started a while ago. i began with a layer of Golden Molding Paste to give it some texture.
then randomly spread on different shades of oranges and yellow.
and just kept adding layer upon layer. it's still not done.
yet, another unfinished project!
i think this painting is inspired by the record 25 days of rain that we had here in the NW this April!
maybe tonight will be the night to finish it! hmmm, do i have enough chocolate in my studio to keep me going? i've realized that i NEED chocolate (and diet pepsi) to be creative. they go hand in hand. and that is why i also NEED running! haha!
i'm thinking about adding some words... any ideas?
The hokie pokie?....First you put your two knees close up tight then you swing em to the left and you swing em to the right..walk around the floor kinda nice and light etc.........

Mmm, chocolate... Pretty amazing to see how you go from layers of yellow and orange to this gorgeous concoction! (p.s. you left your molding paste here - it's been looking for you!)
