My black joy: The making of #1

Hi dear you.

Here it is...the very beginning. A wood panel and a dream to take ownership of that which I had been taught to reject...I mean we've all been taught to reject blackness...But this is about the process...

In addition to paint. I played with oil sticks! Oil sticks are love. Trust me on this.

And I played with acrylics....

After I played like crazy, I poured resin and had to wait. Resin makes me wait!!

I painted over the resin and poured more and more. It feels so smart and electric and here...maybe it is who I want to be...

And there are drips and bits of imperfections...that I love...because that is a promise I have given to myself and my work.
