UNEXPECTED

I am not sure what I expected to paint on this rainy Sunday afternoon. I went to the studio with an open mind (or is that just a positive way of saying I had no idea what to paint) and just let the paint and the charcoal tell me where to put it on the paper. I am so used to painting flowers, that I just assumed that today would be no different, but something about this rainy Sunday afternoon brought me to create this unexpected abstract, somewhat cellular and biology-vibed painting.

I kind of like it. It’s unexpected.

Here is the daisies collection in @BenjaminMoore Blue Nova and Teacup Rose color combination. I am super happy how this colorway turned out. I like giving myself parameters to design within. I think having limitations is a great way to design. Otherw
