I’m a busy grandmother now with little time on my hands!  Yearning to paint, I decided to play with my acrylics because they’re so rapid, they dry so fast which encouraged me to be expressive and gestural. This one was a 15 minute burst.  I really enjoyed it and I believe it represents me tentatively stepping into painting again.
