Finally, I am really enjoying making marks.  I had to make myself stop or the whole painting was going to be one big mark.   I never thought I would enjoy them as much as I have.  This one started with an almost black under painting.  On the paper, I mixed Van Dyke brown with Indigo, let it dry and then added shapes with Zinc Titanium.  The fun started when I cut back into with different tools and the lovely beige, gold colors appeared out of nowhere.  

I do believe this painting has taken longer to photograph than it took to paint.  It looks different in every kind of light and in every room in my house.
