This piece started out, in the lower left corner, as a botanical composition, executed in my normal "tight" manner of painting, which usually involves a lot of smooth blending. Then my painting professor came around and encouraged me continue the piece in a way that was in contrast to how I was accustomed to painting, to "go nuts"! And so I did. There's lots of textures and dripping in this one, which is not typical of my style, but was a fun departure.
