After I finish a piece where I’m extremely conscious of what I’m doing or where I force myself to stay within specific guidelines or “rules” while making the painting I feel like I need to get back to pure expression with very little to no conscious thought about what I am creating. (Think about standing extremely still for an hour, then finally being able to move your limbs and jump up and down) This piece was one of those where I just let whatever punches and kicks come out naturally with no thought. The colors and the way they appear to flow and play are reminiscent of a graceful mermaid
