red painting

this is phase 1 of this painting. this is the one I spent the most time with this weekend in my studio... it's undergone a surprising transformation... here is phase 2:

For inspiration, I put an image of one of my favorite paintings by Cy Twombly on my easel. I love the energy and forcefulness of his painting. I can feel his strength and speed on the canvas, like it's alive. I hope to infuse that kind of energy into my work.
