The above photo is one of the five or so canvasses that were going nowhere.

So after two years of messing with the five that did not make it, I decided that I needed to finish this whole thing up as I was moving beyond where the old drawngs were, so I dragged all five of the canvasses outside and started a sort of deconstruction or a freeing up.

Working gesturally is hard to do larger than 1. you can see with your eye and 2. you can reach with your arm (and hand). This is where painting and dance collide. Making smaller work seems to be easier and I think that trying to make exspansive gestural work has always had inherent problems. Remember that a gesture is the conveyence of an emotion using a part of your body.
