Day 24 - Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days

My mind wasn't in it today.It's really hot - in fact, as soon as I post this I am heading to the beach. Who ever heard of 90 degree days in late September in northern Vermont? That's just crazy. And tomorrow is supposed to be the same.

In this painting, I was trying to figure out the idea of vertical bands of color - how to make them interesting, and finding a rhythm to hold the pattern together. Some areas of this work, and it might all work somewhat better on a much bigger substrate (more breathing room between the bands and more room for variety.) Whatever. I'm outta here.
