This is the first in some coming paintings that I tried a new technique. Instead of painting on a white surface I began this painting on a black surface. It was very refreshing! The painting seemed to ascend out of the surface as the painting progressed, as if out of a deep cave. And I was bringing light to the places that needed light and leaving dark what remained. Interesting way to paint.
