On Being Fearless . . .

 






......and channeling Gerhard Richter.

I watched a documentary on him recently and have not been able to get his abstracts out of my mind.  I lie awake at night thinking about them!  I wanted to try painting one, using the things I had on hand.  I had this 3 foot by 4 foot canvas I picked up at a thrift store, with a hideous graphic on it.  I had several bits of old house paint left in the utility room by the former owners of our house.  I had some big and old paint brushes and an easel and a drop cloth.  This was the most wonderful experience i have had in a very long time!  I need to do this again..........
