Often, before starting a painting, I enjoy surprising myself by choosing a new point of departure. It is my way of keeping my work alive. I provoke novelty until I feel like I am doing something I haven't tried before. For this painting, I started with a color background inspired by the abstract expressionism movement, keeping in mind that my little girls would be wearing red, yellow, and orange dresses.

wow this is so breathtaking! I miss working with oil, but since I've been living on the road in a small van with my 3 year old boy and his father, I never find the space to explode in painting, but I do a lot of drawings at least :) Check out my page if you want, I'm new on steemit and would love to connect with other artists!

Great steps - I often make a "abstract mess" on my canvas that subsequently I work in a similar way. The difference with me is that my subjects are not pre-determined, but result out of what the shapes suggest - so only near the end is a conscious direction taking over. The way to there is a trip into the blue. I try to keep a balance between the Apollonian and Dionysian elements, but often the Surrealist prevails.

As you have surmised, paintings like this take time. I started this one in December 2017 and finished it this week. This length of time of execution may seem long by today's standards, but was typical during the Renaissance.

Beautiful...
Entrancing...
Gorgeous...
Alot of words i'd use to describe this beauty...
i am still unable to explain the psychology the philosophy behind it or what causes me to smile and leaves me in a state of euphoria when i see children smile and laugh. maybe because i remember what it feels to be without worries, without problems, without expectations..
Beautiful work once again...
i hope you dont mind my saving it offline for more appreciation of the work...
