 | Next I block in the large masses. Starting with the trees I group them together as a mass of green. The next areas to block in with color are the pottery and the wall. Even the shadow shapes become an abstract shape of value and hue. Everything is still loose at this point, but the painting is taking on more structure. |  |

It's at this point that objects in the painting are transformed from loose shapes to more detailed forms of light and dark, warm and cool. Attention, to lost and found areas, keep objects unified with the rest of the painting. |  |

The two hours were filled with an abundance of creative energy for me. I sincerely hope the onlookers enjoyed the demonstration, and felt the joy I experienced in creating the painting. All of us had shared the same moment of life, and experienced the inspirational power of 'The Living Desert.' |
