Smashing

Finally, my long awaited new painting supplies have arrived. I have several varieties of canvas supports and eight new colors to play with. I also got some new very wide brushes, but I did not use a brush as I sampled the new colors. I squirted dabs of each new color right from the tube onto the canvas. As usual, the dabs took varied shapes. Since I'd used a pallette knife to mix the first sampler, I knew I needed a new tool. Thus, I took a paper plate and smushed the paint dabs. Not only did each dab take a new form, but every time I moved the plate to smash a diffeent area, the colors moved to create some interesting blends. The paper plate also created varied textures. I had no plans to create any image in particular, but I can spot some very colorful flowers in the finished piece. Isn't that just smashing? What do you see?
