I have to be honest.  I came to this painting the long way around.  There is a totally different painting underneath.  I hated it. TACILW hated it.  But still, it hung around the studio for over a year until a couple of weeks ago.  I was suddenly in a devil may care mood and just painted over it.  

I painted vigor and motion.  There was a lot of actual sound to the painting process.  Cutting.  Scraping.  Pushing paint.  This is one of those paintings that I wish you could see up close.  Those little jewels are showing up in it.

And, I am going to be honest and say, this painting did not have a title until just now.  Writing about how she came to be told me what she wanted to be called.  Once again, the painting was leading me.
