I can intellectualize with the best of them, but actually putting ideas into practice is difficult for me.  I was putzing around in my studio with a painting that I thought I should modify.  I wanted to put it up where I took a TV down.  I get so keyed into whether the painting will be something that's "good" that it never really occurred to me that I could just mess around with the paint. It reminds me of a painting I did for my daughter so she could cover up her electrical panel.  It's just a bunch of blobs and dots and in colors I rarely use (greys).  It was fun. This is kind of the same; it's to put on my kitchen wall, not enter into a contest.  So, I'm going to try and have fun with it and will finish the last of the close up ocean paintings another day.
