What I did for Art today

Today I was busy organizing some artwork to photograph, and I found this piece I was working on this past summer. It is acrylic on paper and I worked on it off and on for about 4 months. I enjoyed the shapes and working the positive/negative space so much that the paper started to wear out. I continued to work on it past this stage- until the paper was crumbling! Taking photos along the way so I could use them in Gimp, I never really intended to keep this painting. It was lovely working on large paper and just seeing what happened using just 3 colors; white, gold and purple. The evolution and the fact that it was not going to be a saved piece, added a feeling of serendipity that I liked.
