thanks, yes, it’s very freeing painting over the edges of several canvases like this, and not constrained even by a final external rectangle. It’s if the work could continue onwards and outwards indefinitely. And you’re right, it seems to give the work some autonomy. I really wanted to keep going, which is whybI painted 3 more canvases almost straight away, but those weren’t nearly as successful. ( you can see the 3 later ones on facebook, under the title ‘argh! I can’t stop’) best wishes and thanks again, Liz

Wow! It’s like the composition itself determines the space it needs… or something like that. I’m kinda blown away by it!
