I imagine chefs, who prepared elaborate dishes in their restaurant's kitchens all day, sometimes go home hungry and the last thing they want to do is spend their time off whipping up something as elaborate. I imagine they kick off their shoes and wing it. Maybe a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup.
Today I opted for grilled cheese. First staining a white panel with a rosy/lipstick red - then, without sketching anything out, just paint. It's liberating. It's necessary.
Part of my mindset this morning was to work with the paint much like one of my favorite artist, Jennifer McChristian. Her paintings have life. She shows constraint in overworking edges, using the rosy base color peeking through the colors she loads on top.
