I began with a brush semi-wet with opera rose. I followed the first stroke with others arranged radially. To be clear, I had no plan beforehand. Each stroke inspired the next, based on its appearance and orientation.

I wish to improve my skills in planning a painting. My recent paintings mostly express a passion for colors and how specific formulations of pigments intermingle. That has produced pleasing compositions. However, I would like to get back to turning an internal idea outward.
