A delicious tension between paint flowing and controlled marks. Absorbing. Love it!

You nailed exactly what I am going for - that tension - between chaos and the controlled! This is a path I plan to pursue.

I am liking the balance between intentional marks and letting the paint create its own drama. I appreciate the comment! BTW, I am nailing down a possible date to visit your show, will be in touch!

I responded to your note on that.
As far as your piece goes, I think I'm definitely noticing the difference a smooth surface makes. Am I mistaken about this? It seems your last few have been on smooth board.

You're right. I have leaned toward using the smooth boards in the latest efforts. It seems to accentuate the subtle details that come with the blending, and optical texturing, of the paint colors. Plus I can varnish them to get a more vivid look.
