It’s a mystery to me – day 12 of 5 minute painting

5 minute painting
day 12
Work in progress
daily painting: 365 day art project
Day 148
Painted on Dec 12, 2017

I have no idea where this painting is going. Is it an abstract? Is it a floral? Maybe a bird painting? Landscape? I’m not seeing anything clearly in my mind’s eye right now, except that it’s not a portrait..or so I think, anyway. The only thing I’m feeling strongly about are those lines I drew across the painting. I don’t like it, so that will have to change. Other than that, it’s a mystery to me. 

This painting is 14×11 inches or 11×14 inches, depending on which way this ends up going. 

Listened to The Great Lake Swimmers: Gonna Make it Through This Year, and had time for a little bit of Sparklehorse: Sunshine today while painting.

I’ve been revising paintings again behind the scenes. I didn’t do much to the girl on the right, but the girl on the left got a whole new face.

Here’s the old one, which I painted 3 years ago..

I almost painted over this painting completely, but decided it had good bones. It just needed some tweaking and adjustments. I like it now.
