The Paintings Have Started

I made two canvases of the same size in preparation for painting in week 3 but along with my research I have decided to get something down on the canvases just to give me a feel of what colours I might use and basically just so I'm not starting from nothing next week.
I basically painted the canvases in as quick a time as possible with whatever felt right and tried to just lose all concious decisions, this way of working actually inspired by the Buddhist books I was reading at the beginning where they talked about losing a sense of self when one is meditating and its the same with this technique of painting.

I am quite happy with the look of them so far but this is one of many layers that are going to be built up over the next couple of weeks and I wouldnt be surprised if they looked completely different but it is important that there are layers underneath to add an overall richness to the paintings.
They seemed to naturally slip into a day/night,  light/dark kind of partnership which should look really nice when put next to each other in the show. Still a lot of work to go but its definitely off to a good start.
