My art identity

Huzzah! 

Am back in the studio. Still feel a little unsure as to what I want to do... what I want to create. But for once I am actually relaxing into just playing and experimenting. 

Though it took me a while to get going. 

I am trying to become more abstract and loosen up my style. So for once, I didn't start the painting with a conte pastel drawing. Instead I started painting straight away. 

But wowzers! It was hard to do. 

The conte under-drawing is such a large part of my artistic 'style' that I felt strangely uncomfortable painting without it. 

Black angry lines under my paint is such a large part of my art identity I am not sure I can paint without them! But as soon as I took them away my work did become more abstract... 



But I am not sure how long I can keep away from the linear drawings!
