Stripes (The Unexpected)

June 26, 2014

I painted with some children. I had an idea of what I wanted to do. Some of them worked with me. Some just worked. A few walked away. The colors weren’t as I wanted. The plan wasn’t going as I had hoped. Things turned out great– that’s right, great!

I was inspired by the way accidental colors merged and blended. I liked some of the shapes that were born. I painted over and around their work. We created a folk fence together. It gave me some fresh ideas about creating backgrounds and color creation. I had an unexpected storm of insipration.

Thanks kids! for making me see a new way.
