Today I took the road less traveled-an unplanned painting.   Usually I plan a new painting in my head just as I drift off to sleep.  I also try to visualize the next step in that fuzzy mental state.  But occasionally I take a blank canvas and just start messing with it.  This one started with a red undercoat.  I saw an art video recently where the artist put a second coat over the first
and scraped some of it off with a squeegee.  So the aqua coat was partly scraped off. Then I really got to messing with dots and dribbles.  After three days I felt it was time to declare it finished.  It is 8"x10" on stretched canvas. I named it "Scraping By".
