Inhale

 

(What you see above are two separate pages.)

I am exploring color, line and mark making here. 

"It seems very clear what it means. I can't say it but the painting makes it clear. If I don't know, then it's not working. If it seems right to me, then it has a meaning, but I can't tell you what meaning. I can't be more specific than that. It works when it means something, when I don't question it any more." -Joan Mitchell
