One Crazy Night

Yes.  This piece is a slight deviation from my usual paintings.  That's probably good.  Here's the story behind this one.

I started it late on a Friday or Saturday night.  This is an odd size because it's the scrap from another painting I decided to crop.  I do that a lot.  I will paint something and then when it's all done I realize I have a pretty good painting if I lop part of it off.  In fact I think this is actually part of the painting from the previous post. "Floating Shapes"

What I ended up doing was taping this scrap down on my table and then I went to the drawer with all the acrylic paint I never use.  I just started squeezing paint out of tubes onto the paper.  Then I went at it with a small paring knife I keep in my brush drawer.  Yup!  Painted the whole thing with a wooden handled paring knife.  And I had a blast doing it!

So that's the story.
