Is it destroying or creating?

As usual I can't just paint something and leave it alone. I have decided to take pictures of the evolution some of my paintings. My eldest daughter is still made at me for painting over one of my paintings years ago but I just couldn't help myself. There is a drive in me to take the painting to another level and it is unstoppable. So having said that I am really loving the works of Flora Bowley and I can't wait for her book "Brave Intuitive painting- let go be bold and unfold" so this next painting has developed into what my interpretation of her work is. So moving forward, I will do the photos b/4 I go in and make changes to my paintings.

So here is the painting that has now been reworked several times. My process was keeping some of the original colors and shapes from the first painting and slowly removing parts that were too busy.

This is the final version....or so I think....we'll have to wait and see if it gets the final coat of varnish.

Now I started another painting with my airbrush yesterday....just letting go like Flora tells me to. I am not really liking the colors yet but I will mucky muck it a bit and see where it goes. I will add some details to the background and play with the leaves and give it some weight. I will be adding gesso to the areas that I feel need rework and then play around with some of the colours adding layers.

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end. It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets. Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle. Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items. Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
