Framed in maple floater. This painting is a move toward being less descriptive with figures and more about allowing a painting to evolve without trying. Without applying my specific idea too soon in the process. As the underpainting--the curvy pattern and crisscrossing texture below, was evolving I let myself just play with adding layers of line and color. At a point I liked what was happening in those layers and then drew with chalk a large sun area and the surface of the water while keeping a large proportion of the underpainting visible. I think this way I am leaving the final image more open to a viewer's interpretation.
