"I step back and look at what I have done so far. My painting is beginning to evolve, I see waves of emotion. I see the purity of the soul surrounded by the different roads it can take. I see the spirit rising up and out of the universe.
"I decide I have too many wavy white lines. I want it a little darker. I go over those areas with some Prussian blue. I continue to layer my center with lemon, white and orange to cover the blue lines and to make it brighter. I know I want the center to "shine". I continue playing and experimenting with the colors.
"My canvas can change many times while I am painting. At times I have started in one direction and have ended up in a totally different direction.
"I try bringing some of the yellow-white out of the center to see what that effect will be. I get a dark blue-green color I am not sure whether I want or not. I add some purple to line the orange areas on the lower half as it goes into the blue. I continue to fill in the background with strokes of Prussian blue, white, and ultramarine blue.
"I am now undecided as to what I want to do next. I try some texturing here and there within the blue areas. I think perhaps it may be too dark now. I like it but there is something missing, it is not 'there' yet. I finally decide that I should take a break and stop for awhile."
