Title: Primarily Bold
Original Painting. This painting pushed me in the creation process. It asked me to make marks that literally terrified me to try, certain they would ruin the painting if I let myself make them. Then, I had an idea for a mark that I was too afraid to make. So I turned to a fellow artist working in the studio with me and asked her if she'd make just one mark on my painting. She came to my canvas, looked at the painting, picked up the exact color I'd planned to use (without me telling her anything about what I'd been wanting to try) and made the exact mark I had wanted to make. Only she made it bigger and bolder.
