In Progress

I'm about halfway into it...

The goal is to make every square centimeter, full of intention.
...or something like that.

I tack back and forth from control to chaos and back again.
...or something like that.

This is like a smart bomb as opposed to the cluster bomb of old. It's still a bomb /it's still paint, there's just more information per unit area this time.
...or something like that.

But seriously, folks... ( I was only half joking though, or trying to deflate the pretentiousness whilst keeping what is still important.)

Right about now, I'm thinking about how I can rachet up the compression of form and actions, grouping them into the upper center so that there is enough field and background left to contrast with the compressed and ?ber-modeled superform.

Action painting belonged to the 50's abstract expressionists. This is not that. This is action-adventure painting.

(Woo hoo! Pardon the bravado again. Temerity is a hazard of the profession.)
