AARP class exercise

This painting, Square Dance 3, is the result of an exercise given by Steven Aimone to the AARP online class that he is doing. We started with a set of directions to follow, then we could develope the drawing/painting in any way we wanted. I was surprised to see that I ended up with a landscape design which I have been using in my most recent paintings. This was all done without any thought or direction at to how to adjust or finish the painting. I was just reacting to what was happening on the paper. I am actually rather pleased with how this turned out. I think the freedom of covering-up and repainting or drawing-into leads to some interesting work.
