Aquarius Takes Out the Compost

I have been in a rut for a while, and this is the first painting I've done in more than a month, I think.  Things are busy, and I've been a bit directionless, or maybe too involved in the novels I'm reading?

I really like my parkland series (see summer posts), but they were more of a technical exercise than an expression of my whole creative mind. I think my true "style" has a bit more abstraction and symbolism in it. But what, how, and how much?  The more techniques and approaches I learn about, the harder it is to find my voice.  But I like the start I've made with the painting below.

This painting emerged from a sketch I did when I was relaxed and unpressured. In fact, I have a bunch of sketches of myself (essentially) that I might parlay into a new series.

Aquarius Takes Out the Compost:  11x14 watercolor, $100.

I like the scratchiness, the lines and swirly shapes, and the ethereal quality. I think I am inspired by fall!
I hope you like it, too.
