My inclination now is towards larger shapes. I think I am painting very large shapes while I stand or sit close to the canvas, but upon stepping back, I realize that the shapes are not so large compared to the whole. I am also getting the sense that once I paint a variety of colors using smaller details, the spaces in between can be filled up with larger areas of the same color.
I am satisfying the desire for more yellow, but I want even more. The crimson next to cadmium red medium is an appealing combination. I am starting to see red bird beaks on the upper left and in the center at the top. A tulip like flower has begun at the lower center edge next to the long yellow bean sprout-like shape. Next to it I also see a thin light yellow figure hugging a plump dark yellow and orange figure. They seem happy to see each other. On the right edge, a friend pointed out a monkey with a red tail.
