This unfolded naturally for me. I had a plan in mind in the direction that I wanted to go, it didn’t go as plan. My initial adventure was to create a black space followed by an intense color or colors. I didn’t have the exact shape in mind nor was I planning on it, but rather just intuitively go with what felt right. The red oxide color came first as it was my intention to get as much onto the canvas. I walked away and coming back forgetting what I was going for and added the black mars paint. To my amusement this began to speak in volumes. I left it to dry thinking I was to add more color later. Guess I was wrong. It has a mind of it’s own.
