It seems every painter needs a bit of both in order push their painting forward. What I found in the past is that I could never capitalize on accident because I didn’t know how to replicate the language. I am now finding that accident is often the key to opening up the painting, and the more I paint the more accident is leading me in the right direction. The idea of a reduced colour range in this painting is starting to work, I think it is the way forward. Still some way to go with this painting but I am liking it more than the previous one.
