Struggling to Lose Control

I'm enthusiastically struggling with my current painting right now. I'm off to the art supply store today to buy some gesso or similar substance to completely start over. lol I'm whole-heartedly going to attack that canvas... With a little more abandon this time.

I'm going to make my right arm hold the paint instead of the paintbrush. Righty has trouble listening to my wilder, freer me. Righty is too Tighty, Tidy, Controlled and Willful. I will be painting with my left hand. I can't say ol' Lefty listens as attentively, but she isn't as stubborn as Righty. I would have no choice but to be less accurate. Hopefully my Right hand won't get too mad and try to grab the brush back.

Right is right, but Left isn't wrong!

I must say I am pleased with the results so far. I used a paint spatula, covered up the original painting... and I really like the texture. It already looks improved! Now I just have to wait for it to dry.... *sigh*

I am done now... Well... Typically, I start with something in mind, but these days sometimes I have to stop before I am done. Because if I kept going I might overwork it. And it looks wonderful the way it is.

For now I call this Earth & Sky...
But I want to say something more....

But maybe the painting says enough...
