Progress

I began my series of paintings not knowing where my initial infatuation with bananas would lead. After three classes they are beginning to act more as a vessel for metaphor than just a banana. Thats what usually intrigues me about objects.
In order to keep my subject matter interesting I have been approaching the blank canvas differently each time. Laying down a wash of color chosen by pure intuition has been an interesting method to start a painting. It also has kept my painting fluid and loose.
I need to buy more medium. I am finding layering of washes very nice.
