As you have probably noticed, I am a very horizontal and or vertical painter.  I love the organization of a grid.  Horizontal formats are just soothing.  Vertical is more edgy.  With all of that in mind, I decided to try a different direction - literally a different direction - a diagonal.  

One of the joys of painting daily is the freedom to try new things.  Recently, I read Carol Marine's new book.  She talks about, that when you paint daily, each painting not being as precious and that you don't have as much invested in them.  I am still mulling that over.  I am beginning to think that daily painting just gives me the freedom to work without fear.

    Doris,
    I love this one! The composition with the diagonals and the red square - is great! (FYI - when I first saw the name I read it as "Finding the ANGELS" Funny, huh?)
