"I come back to my painting with a fresh eye and ready to make changes. I decide it is too dark. I take some ultramarine blue and go over the upper right hand area and remove the violet purple. I use wide curvy strokes and then I add a touch of white to the blue to bring it out more. I then bring it through to the bottom left hand side.
"I take out the pink lining the alizarin crimson and make that darker. I decide I do want purple in my painting, but where? I paint a wide and curvy line down the middle with the purple; yes I like that look. I keep on going and add a touch of white to the purple. I add a curve of alizarin crimson to the top.
"I now feel the excitement of knowing exactly where I am going. I cannot explain it, but I can feel it. It’s starting to rise inside of me, like an ocean wave coming up and out of the water or a star jumping up and out of the universe.
"I continue on and I texture in between the darker areas with my large round brush, dabbing in Prussian blue, purple, and some white to soften the colors and to give it the effect I am looking for. I brush in some light yellow to bring out the bottom part of the center to see how it will look. The colors are beginning to 'pPop' and the shapes and curves are being brought out more."
