sticking to it

I've witnessed a huge shift in palette. It's as if I can't seem to pick out any of the brighter more playful colors. There is an instinctive urge to reach out for moodier tones and I can't seem to put my finger on why that is. So, I've just decided to run with it and it truly is a thrilling experience. I started working on this new abstract (untitled at the moment) and there were just two things I had decided before beginning the process: 1) it was going to be moody 2) there had to be a LOT of movement. I battled it out for a few days when I started to mix tones of Pthalo and Prussian and at the end, it just turned out be relatively monochromatic. My first ever! :D I'm so pumped that I immediately jumped to 2 additional canvases while the first was drying and those are almost done too. Can't wait to share. In the mean time, here's my hero fresh off the easel.
