Another painting completed.

It feels great to have a painting completed. It seems like these ideas just come to me and I have to get them out and if I don't, the idea is just nagging at me until I do.

The painting changed a little in production, the ideas always seem to do. I'll start out doing something one way and by the time I'm done with it, it turns into another. I like that. It's nice to have that inspiration and then grow from that.

The original idea was to have a bright rainbow and to have the painting positioned horizontally. While working on the painting however, I was listening to depressing music and that changed the attitude of the painting. There was a transition from dark (on the right side) to light (on the left side). I think it was a good touch. I like the transition. It's like a journey, the same journey with each panel of color. After I finished the rainbow, I then felt there needed to be something added. The rainbow effect was nice, but the painting looked...lonely. I then added a flower. That was done in black painting and a highlight of white colored pencil.

Here is the end result:

The final step to complete this painting is the attach black or rainbow colored ribbon in between each color block about an inch apart. This is I can hang it easily. Otherwise...I'll have to make sure that it's straight and put each one on the wall individually.

I'm so excited to put this up. However, I will have to wait. It's late and I need to get to bed.
