Mixed Media: None | One afternoon while resting on my recliner splotches of ever changing colors and shapes drifted, formed and vanished before my closed eyes. I didn't try to control any images at first. After a little while I mentally started to manipulate the images. That is the basis for this painting in a collection of six. These were done fast and furious with pallet knife on canvas. I hope you enjoy this pallet knife painting.

As I said in the short version, I was napping when colors, shadows, and shapes started to swirl on my closed eyelids. I rather enjoyed just watching whatever happened. I then started to mentally manipulate the patterns. When images like this painting started to appear I woke up and started painting. I used a few different sized and shaped pallet knives to do the paintings. I painted six different paintings at the same time to try to catch the different images that had appeared to me. I worked fast and furious breaking and maintaining a sweat as I worked. I wanted to catch as many drift and spontaneous forms as I could that equaled what I saw in my dream state. These paintings turned out bold and dramatic as the different layers of paint overlaid and in places merged and mixed with the other colors. Sometimes I held the pallet knife firmly, sometimes like a scalpel, and some times so lightly the knife dropped from my hand. The paint colors I used were Titanium white, Prussian blue and cobalt blue. I titled this painting "Breaking Loose" because I saw it as the first thaw of a mountain stream. I hope you enjoy the vibrancy of this painting.
