Spur of the moment abstract art class was good last night.

Layer 3 looks done but I kept painting. Notes from class: flat planes that overlap value, interlocking, come up in stages, same depth, contrast, edges, relationships between forms, edges: sharp or painterly, balance, sense of gravity, look for opportunities to define a space between forms, organizing principles. The final touches were the white, black and gold lines. The symbol Pi appeared and that means infinity to me. Ben, the instructor at UCLA, thought this painting looked like a Celestial Block Party. So maybe that’s what happens when we die. Forever more, we are in party mode with all our good friends.
