This painting, roughly translated as "open fire", snuck up on me. Originally my mind's vision of the end image was something altogether different but as I applied the paint it became more and more disappointing. It was not until I scrapped the original direction and started to react to each layer applied that this image eventually became manifest followed by that ever fleeting sense of satisfaction.
abrir fuego is acrylic on canvas and is 39in H x 59in W.

I love your new paintings, including "tormenta hermosa". If there was such a thing as controlled chaos, that's what I see. They are cerebral and emotional / controlled yet passionate. You seem to be walking a line between two extremes.
I like your titles too. . . but why are they in Spanish?
Debido a que es tan bella.
I long to grasp such a beautiful language. It is music to the ears, ergo the soul.
Thank-you for your encouraging words. There is joy amongst the chaos. They are quite fun to create. The dynamic of colours and texture through application is quite thrilling during the process.
I know what you mean; I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish.
