I thought I would give my wooden panels another go. Originally I bought them to experiment with moving panels about while I paint, in hopes that I could trick myself into generating ideas. All those months ago, I remembering being pleasantly surprised how much I liked painting on wood. Could it be my surface? Moving panels about also works well for me, keeps me thinking, changing and moving forward. I 've never been much of a 'design' or composition guru; so in this way, the twitching up of panels really does help...hmmm, least I think it does! And...note the busy parts of the painting are pushed to the sides...hmmm I usually do the busy parts right smack in the middle. Well this definitely does force me into a different way of working...and I really needed the push. Not sure which orientation I like this painting yet, thought I liked the red circle at the top...not sure!
