While I'm waiting for..

...any ideas to come flowing in, I wanted to talk about another early experience with abstract painting. I had a small, 11 x 17 canvas and I wanted to paint it all blue, with yellow streaks. It was going to be a sort of abstract sunset. And that's what I did.

I didn't mix the blue with water, just painted the canvas using the natural viscosity of the blue paint. Then, since I was going the streak yellow and thought I needed a lighter weight, for lack of a better word, paint I went to the paint store and bought a small can of yellow paint. And I streaked it and left it to dry.

Or so I thought. A little while later, thinking that the paint was dry I turned it upright, as thought it yet another little master piece in my collection.

Later that day I found that not only had the yellow not dried it had bled down the canvas, so it looked like the sun was crying. That painting was ruined but did leave me with an idea for a new painting--the crying sun. More to come...

Keep those comments coming (I'm being slightly facetious) regarding the corporate art world.

More later on the crying sun...
